Domain Name Disputes

Has your organization's domain name been stolen? Is someone using your organizaiton's name or your personal name to direct traffic to their site? Is someone asking you to pay them for a domain that should rightfully belong to you? Has someone purchased a domain name that rightfully should belong to your organization?

"Cyberpirates" troll the Internet, purchasing domain names which identify well-known people and organizations. They then use these domains to host websites which suggest an affiliation with the well-known person or organization but which actually sell various goods and services for profit.

This practice is illegal. Under provisions of United States and International Law, domain name providers must transfer ownership of domain names to their rightful owner. We have been quite successful in gaining ownership of domains in situations like this before, by utilizing a set of international laws designed to prevent "cybersquatting" and "cyberpiracy". Recovery of domain names through these processes can be accomplished without ever filing a lawsuit.
