Concepts such as phishing, typosquatting, tasting and kiting all have legal relevance to domain names and, more importantly, how our clients encounter domain names in their businesses. Most of the attention to date has been focused on phishing and typosquatting, but tasting and kiting can have an impact that is not as apparent but no less real. Both tasting and kiting have been heavily criticized, and both are under attack by ICANN, with some help on kiting from Google. http://www.law.com/jsp/legaltechnology/pubArticleLT.jsp?id=1203677137795 E-mail typosquatting poses leakage threat Companies and political organizations should put more effort into registering mis-typed versions of their primary domain, not only to protect visitors to their Web sites but also to prevent e-mails from accidentally leaking out, a security researcher said on Wednesday. http://www.securityfocus.com/brief/685 ********************** - DOMAIN DISPUTES ********************** au: Property business sunk after domain dispute A Sydney Web-based business has been stripped of its registered domain name with only 24 hours notice by an administrative body, after it was found to have "wrongly lapsed" from its original owner early last year. http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/communications/soa/Property-business-sunk-after-domain-dispute/0,130061791,339286181,00.htm uk: Net fraudster must pay back £562,000 A twisted tycoon who made more than £1 million from internet fraud scoffed at police efforts to track down his money with a sarcastic letter left for them in a hidey-hole, along with £10 for their "trouble". Peter Francis-Macrae (26) squirrelled away £425,000 in a secret stash which officers have been unable to locate, Peterborough Crown Court heard. ...

It is the leading debit-card brand in the UK, and is more than likely emblazoned on a card tucked away in many of our wallets. It may therefore come as a surprise that the owner of this trade mark, Maestro International Inc (a subsidiary of Mastercard), has been unsuccessful in its attempts to secure a transfer of the domain name "maestro.co.uk".

Day one's focus was internet governance. The future of the DNS was one of the key issues addressed by Michael Nelson of Georgetown University in Washington DC, with domain names becoming less important, but their numbers still increasing, as online access by a myriad of devices skyrockets connect -- everything from the television, refrigerator, washing machine, pets, sprinkler systems and cars. http://technewsreview.com.au/article.php?article=4044 http://www.domainnews.com/aftermarket/2008022587/domain-pulse-2008-internet-governance-the-focus-of-day-one/ http://www.domainpulse.com/2008/02/22/domain-pulse-2008-internet-governance-is-the-focus-of-day-one/ http://www.circleid.com/posts/822210_domain_pulse_2008_day_one/ Domain Pulse Day 2 Focuses on DNS Security Day two of Domain Pulse 2008 last Friday focused on online security issues giving the techies amongst us details of security issues, and the more policy-orientated amongst us something to chew on in a few other presentations.

If your RFP is not written well, it hinders the SEO firm's ability to understand and define your needs and to scope and price your project. This in turn leads to a disconnect in expectations for both parties. A lousy RFP can discourage a busy SEO firm from even responding—a very unfortunate outcome, since it takes the best firms out of the running. http://searchengineland.com/080221-080408.php What Happens in Vegas ..

Again for impact, more than 20 million dollars of cash-money was bid in about a day (8 hours over two days) by a handful of people who wanted to own just a smattering of domain names. Some of these names were good, many were just average, few would have blown the average man-on-the-strip’s hair back. The would-be suitors were there with cash in hand, and many (like yours truly) went home empty handed.. or nearly empty handed. All this happened during a week in which markets corrected, new credit/banking problems came to light, mortgage rates inched higher, inflation made headlines and other generally bad stuff happened or was foreshadowed to happen in the broader economy.
