Napster.co.uk turned over to Roxio by Nominet

[aww]

Nominet can apparently make domain dispute decisions without WIPO?

Roxio, the company behind the newly-legitimised Napster music service, has won a battle for napster.co.uk. The UK's domain name registry ruled that a registration of the name by the Treasury Solicitor was "abusive" and ordered that it be transferred to Roxio.

Each individual ccTLD has the authority to do as it wishes. The .co.uk registrar has chosen to deal with disputes themselves without WIPO.

A list of the country's that WIPO provides these services for can be found at http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/cctld/index.html.

Note as well that it is listed as 'the service provider for the gTLDS which to me means that this is a commercial service that WIPO is offering.

I don't see what all the fuss is about and don't understand what you mean by it 'sucks' Bill1 - stay away from trademarks full stop IMO

Trademark domains aren't a good idea in any extension!
