Bill Cosby wins "Fat Albert"

[shakez]

Hey Hey Hey Cosby wins ruling to get FatAlbert.org

http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/internet/09/12/un.cybersquatting.albert.ap/index.html

Arbitrators for the World Intellectual Property Organization ordered the transfer of the domain name www.fatalbert.org to the American actor, who had complained that it infringed his trademark rights and was being used in bad faith to divert Internet traffic to a commercial search engine and a Web site selling sexually explicit products.

A number of celebrities have already won the Internet version of their names back through U.N. arbitration, including Morgan Freeman, Julia Roberts, Madonna, Nicole Kidman, Pamela Anderson, Pierce Brosnan and Carmen Electra.

I don't think the former owner helped his case very much by forwarding the domain to "enlargement products". LOL

What does the name “Fatal Bert” have to do with Bill Cosby. Wasn't Bert from Sesame Street?

Glad to see he got it back, but if it was a fan site... It would be a different story.
