eBay Selling Fakes – No it couldn’t possibly be…

The online auction site has been ordered to pay compensation by a judge in Paris for allowing users to trade counterfeit items

Via Times Online

Louis Vuitton sues eBay, for selling 'luxury' fakes. First question what took so long, and what makes them think they have any possibility of winning or even settling the lawsuit.

I think its laughable that companies still think they can get away with such stupid lawsuits, the bottom line is the profits can't be all that good, on their end.

ICANN is full of good ideas, especially on how people use the internet.

The net's regulator, Icann, voted unanimously to relax the strict rules on so-called "top-level" domain names, such as .com or .uk.

The decision means that companies could turn brands into web addresses, while individuals could use their names - BBC NEWS

Despite the fact it opens up a whole slew of stupid domains, it means you can no longer guess a domain name by picking the brand and adding .com or .co.uk it also means domain squatting is going to get more and more common, even if initially domains cost six figure sums.

ICANN - The idea is stupid, work out a better way, and try to find some way of regulating domain squatting not making up stupid ideas and justifying them by saying it will make the internet easier to use, because it will not!
