Dan Parisi, a party in many high profile cybersquatting battles,
has won the right to keep the domain name MichaelBloombergSucks.com
before a US dispute resolution panel. The US-based financial
company Bloomberg, headed by Michael Bloomberg, failed to show that
Parisi was using the name in bad faith. The domain name linked to a
free speech site, sucks.com.
Mr Parisis domain name paranoia. So, customers can now visit
sites such as the imaginatively named VerizonEatsPoop.com to air
their grievances.
Salmon adds:
"If someone puts defamatory messages on a
web site then there are likely grounds for legal action. But a site
just airing customer grievances may not be worth the hassle,
expense and embarrassment of legal action. It might only encourage
the owner."
