Absolutely Bloody Ridiculous
Somebody please answer this for me: If a generic word such as this can be "infringing" then ICANN has no valid grounds for introducing more extensions galore. Does that mean that no-one can own chillibeans.web? Does Live.web automatically go to Microsoft and does apple.web go to Mr. Ipod?Now this is going to get plain ugly. It seems that all future names already have a pre-designated owner. "This is my trademark. You can't have it. I want to step on everyone's toes because I am a 800 pound gorilla. You are infriging on my intellectual property."
ICANN seems to only want to line their pockets. On one end they want to increase competition. On the other, the want to side with the 800 pound gorilla corps. The are pulling a parodox.
Domainers are seen as the scum of the earth in many of the wipo cases that I read. What gives?
