With the political season heating up, I though I'd point folks to a recent blog post at my firm:

"Political Domain Name Infringement and Law"

Abstract: "As this election year heats up candidates in all types of political races are trying to reach likely voters at their doors, on their telephones and on the Internet. In this race for voters you might guess that a candidate’s domain name plays an important role in sharing his or her message with likely voters. What if a candidate’s domain name is already taken by a third party? What if a candidate’s name has already been taken by their opponent?"

Both political candidates and domainers should be abreast of the happenings in this area, particularly in hot election years like this one.

Sedo has banned domains that bear the candidates' names from its marketplace. Do you agree with this practice, even if they're not a candidate's full name or surname?
