Registering a domain name with malicious intent or in bad faith is popularly called Cybersquatting in WWW. This is usually done for monetary reasons whereby one books a domain similar to a registered trademark or copyright of any known company and then tries to sell it to the concerned company at an exorbitant price. For example, if one registers a domain nike.net and then attempts to sell it back to Nike, it is cybersquatting. It will be in addition a violation of law if he/she puts up a website on nike.net describing Nike products and services in bad taste. On the other hand, if someone own a company trademark like Nike Foods and host a food website on nike.net, there is no cybersquatting or violation of law. So, it is the intention and not just the name which amounts to cybersquatting.
Cybersquatting was made illegal by the passage of a federal law in 1999 known as the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. The law became necessary because numerous large companies were forced to pay large sums to buy their domain names from third parties. These companies included such notables as Panasonic, Fry’s Electronics, Hertz and Avon.
Cybersquatting is quite common specially against the popular brands but most of the time, the victim company doesn’t know about it. How do you know if a company is a victim of cybersquatting? Type in a name that is a trademark or copyright like Sakshay preceded by “www” and following by “.com”, “.net” or “.org”. If you get a valid web site which looks like it is related in some way to the domain name, then there is no cybersquatting in effect (although this could be a simple trademark violation). However, if you get one of the following results, then this could be a cybersquatter.
- Can’t find server
- under construction
- page with no relationship to domain name
Of course there could be a reasonable explanation for each of these results, so they do not always mean there is cybersquatting occurring. It’s a good idea to contact the domain name owner before taking any legal action to find out what’s going on.
Since there can be many reasons both in favor and against cybersquatting in any specific case, how can one prove someone is cybersquatting?
- The domain name registrants intention was to profit from your domain name in bad faith
- Your trademark was in effect and widely known at the time the domain name was registered
- The domain name is identical to your trademark
- And you have actually registered the trademark
How do you know there is a bad faith intent? Well, there is probably no bad faith intent if one of the following is true:
- domain name is the same as the person’s name or nickname or company providing services or products in different domain.
- They are actually selling or intend on selling something on their web site – They have registered the domain prior to your trademark registration and have been using the domain name for some purpose or other.
- Does the web site owner actually have a legitimate use of the domain name? This would be, for example, true for a company named “Nike Foods”. They would have a legitimate reason for owning the “Nike” domain name.
Some clues that cybersquatting is occurring include:
- The domain name owner has put up a web site which in some way harms your company. For example, if you had somehow purchased “TATA.ORG” and created a web site about how inferior are TATA products, you are cybersquatting.
- If the domain name owner never legitimately used the domain name and simply offered to sell it to you, he is cybersquatting. If a person buys up a lot of names and has sold them over and over, there is a pattern of cybersquatting.
- If the domain name is the same as a very famous trademark, then it has a greater likelihood of being considered cybersquatting.
What can happen if someone is found guilty of cybersquatting is they can be ordered to hand over the domain name. In addition, if the domain was purchased after 1999, they can be ordered to pay monetary damages.

Freddy’s in Brooklyn is a happening place that has been named one of the city’s best bars by the Village Voice, Esquire, and The New York Times.
Unfortunately, Freddy’s—and the surrounding neighborhood—is smack-dab in the footprint of the Atlantic Yards project, a multi-million-dollar, 22-acre development that is intended to create “an urban utopia” in the language of developer Bruce Ratner, and a new, publicly subsidized home to Ratner’s Nets, who currently play NBA basketball (if you can call it that) in New Jersey.
But don’t mistake Atlantic Yards as one more instance of the market-driven transformations for which New York is rightly famous. It’s actually the latest case of eminent domain abuse, where private property is seized by the state on dubious grounds and then immediately handed over to private interests for private gain.
In this case, the Empire State Development Corporation has designated the thriving area as blighted to facilitate the taking of privately owned houses and businesses without having to pay full market value.
Ratner, whose partners in the venture include rapper Jay Z and the Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, stands to pocket hundreds of millions of dollars on the deal, all thanks to the brute force of the state.
This week, a Brooklyn Supreme Court ruling tossed out the eminent domain objections of residents and property owners who had held out for six years and Ratner plans to break ground on the site on March 11, if not before.
The workers and patrons of Freddy’s, however, are not going gentle into that good night. They’ve pledged to engage in civil disobedience and chain themselves to the bar when the bulldozers and wrecking balls come for their favorite haunt. A state sentator has even declared that she’ll lay down in front of the demolition machinery.
The awful 2005 Supreme Court decision in Kelo vs. City of New London, which held that governments can seize property to increase potential tax revenues, may have paved the way for Atlantic Yards, but Freddy’s is the next last stand in an ongoing battle against eminent domain abuse.
Produced by Dan Hayes, who conceived, shot, and edited the video; Damon Root, who researched the legal issues and did logistics; and Nick Gillespie, who co-wrote the piece and hosts.

Selecting A Domain Name That Clicks! by BB Lee (C)2005

(736 Words)
After making the decision to join the World Wide Web Business
Community. Another important step awaits your attention.
You will certainly want to select a Domain Name for your
business.
That’s right! Your very own Domain Name for your online business.
Selecting the right domain name is often a hard task for many
new online business owners.
They want a catchy name that will get attention plus deliver the
paying customers to their website. Unfortunately, many online
business owners insist on the wrong name. One that is not only
improper for their business but also might give potential
customers the wrong impression.
I’ve heard of quite a few online business owners naming their
new business after a family pet, a child, or significant other.
Not necessarily in that order! But, alas, that “catchy” name
might make it difficult for potential customers to find your
website or you might attract the wrong crowd.
And speaking on the wrong crowd… “I guess you’ve heard the
joke about the elderly woman who hooked impressive rugs for a
living and decided to start a website called hookers.com. Well,
she received many hits to her website from many disappointed
lecherous male surfers, so the story goes.”
Before deciding the proper Domain Name let’s cover a few basics:
What’s A Domain Name? In basic terms a domain name is your
business name on the World Wide Web. This is how customers will
find your website. The domain will show your location and
whether your website is commercial (com) organizational (org)
educational(edu) governmental(gov) or any one of several other
suffixes.
How Might A Domain Reflect Your Business? If you repair cars,
your domain might be: -www.autorepairs.com
-www.Qualityautorepairs.com
If you design websites a good domain might be:
-www.Qualitywebdesigners.com -www.cheapwebdesigns.com
If you sell house plants a good domain name might be:
www.houseplantsforyou.com www.houseplants.com
If you repair computers a good domain name might be:
www.computerservice.com www.computer-repair.com
By reflecting exactly what your business concerns it will be
easier for potential customers to find your website even if they
don’t know the exact URL (Universal Resource Locator) They might
simply go to a search engine like Google.com and type the kind
of business they are looking for. Suppose you own a home based
computer repair service on the Internet. A potential customer
types “computer repair” on google…and up pops your website!
They visit your website. Contact you about your repair services.
Cool…huh?
What’s The Deal With The Suffix? Selecting a suffix is
important. Even though com, net, org, gov, edu, tv, enjoy
amazing popularity, It would be wise to select com. Why? Because
it is the most popular. Plus “com” is the one your browser will
automatically fill in if someone types in your business name
without the suffix. Once again this will make it easier for a
potential customer to locate your website. Only use net, org, or
any other suffix if “com” is not available.
Availability? After selecting your Domain Name you should
determine if that name is available. You might want to download
a domain lookup tool. Or use a domain lookup service online.
Many webhosting services have a domain lookup tool readily
available.

Download Doman Lookup Tools at: http://www.downloads.com
If your desired Domain Name is available NOW is the perfect time
to decide if you want to register the name and select a web
hosting package. Usually you will have the option to register
the name for a year, two years, three for a predetermined price.
I’ve seen prices starting at $9.99 and up per year.
Note: Many webhositng services offer free domain registration
with a webhosting package. Many webhosting packages start at
around $15.00 and up per month for a starter website.
