Domain Bullying
,----[ Quote ]
| A posting over on the Big Government blog
| details recent attempts by the American
| Federation of Teachers (AFT) to shut down the
| website at AFTExposed.com (which, as you might
| guess from the name, doesnât have very nice
| things to say about the AFT). The AFTâs General
| Counsel has sent the operators of the offending
| website a cease-and-desist letter, demanding
| âimmediate cessation of use of the domain
| AFTexposed.com or any other variant that
| includes the acronym AFT.â The asserted
| grounds: (a) trademark infringement (that use
| of the AFT acronym is âlikely to cause
| confusion, or to cause mistake, or to
| deceiveâ), and (b) violation of ICANNâs Uniform
| Dispute Resolution Policy (on the grounds that
| the AFTexposed.com name is âconfusingly
| similarâ to AFTâs trademark and was âregistered
| in bad faith.â).
