Nominet Controversy Part Two
Filed under:
The iPod has gone up to their heads
Nominet have made some controversial decisions in the past. I discussed one such decision back in March this year (see Re: Domain extensions). For those who haven’t the patience to read the whole thread, the conversations led to the following article from the Register:
Apple has been awarded control of the domain iTunes.co.uk, even though it was registered before the Mac maker announced its online music service.
Just as I thought that the story ground to a halt, I noticed the following story on the BBC this morning.
Mr Cohen is contesting Nominet’s decision in March to take itunes.co.uk from him and hand it over to Apple.
He told the BBC News website he is planning to continue to fight for the web address.
Talk about outrageous misuse of power by large bodies and corporations…
