We Don't Need No Domain Names [IDG] When hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of Japanese Internet users want to Google something their first stop isn't the minimalist home page of the search engine but its biggest competitor: Yahoo Japan.

On the Yahoo site they type in "Google" to get taken to the home page, bypassing the address bar in their browsers and registering another search for Google in Yahoo's rankings. In 2008 so many surfers used Yahoo to get to the Google home page that it placed as the fourth most searched term of the year -- a position it also held in 2007. http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/160090/.html http://computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9128506 http://tech.yahoo.com/news/pcworld/20090224/tc_pcworld/domainnameswedontneednodomainnames_1 Domain Names Disputes Involving Sellers of Tickets for Sports Events The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) arbitration panels have upheld the rights of stadiums to oppose domain name registrations by online ticket sellers that threaten the stadiums' financial strength and reputation. Typically, independent ticket sellers are required to negotiate a license with venue operators. Some ticket sellers, however, have attempted to bypass this license requirement by displaying minor and subtle alterations of the venue’s name or the top level domain suffix.
