itunes.co.uk 的爭奪戰

同樣的新聞,都是在講 itunes.co.uk 這個 domain 的爭奪戰:

我本來認為英國的法院相當無理 (在「」這篇文章),是因為我認為在商標 (iTunes) 根本就還沒被的 domain 不應該被強制易主。

如同 的例子,已經在使用這個 domain,不願意轉讓。

但在 的報導中提到的嘴臉就是網路蟑螂的樣子:

Apple offered to buy the domain name for $5,000 late last year, but Cohen responded he would only be willing to sell for 50,000 pounds ($94,000). Following several weeks of informal mediation that failed to resolve the dispute, a Nominet expert was appointed to rule on ownership of the domain name.

以及:

Late last year, Cohen tried to sell the domain name to Apple’s online music rival Napster. Although Napster declined the offer, for a brief period in November, iTunes.co.uk redirected its visitors to Napster.co.uk.

呸呸…
