> The Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia, found on February 3, > 1999, that domain names are "property" and subject to judicial > sale to satisfy a monetary judgment against the registrant. "... the Court held that domain names are property under *Virginia* law and that *NSI* is obligated to transfer the domain names at issue into the registry [sic] of the Court for judicial sale by the Sheriff *to the highest bidder*. Is this the outcome you really want for your new registries/ registrars? If the infringer bids the highest -- or anybody else -- simply drives the bidding up, where does trademark law stand then?
