Hello!
surely legal action and opinion works very differently in many cultures
and countries.
In the consultation on WIPO RFC-3 in Mexico at least one clar legal
opinion did distinguishbetweeen the holding of a domain name and its use.
According to this lawyer the onlymoment when you sep into intellectual or
industrial property infringement is when you use the domain name for
commerce or profit.
The illegality is interpreted from unloyal competition, ie cheating the
customer from something he believes he will find under a trademark known
to him/her.
Does this ring a bell in other legal systems? To lawyers?
