I'm all in favour of moving the Wikimedia domain names from GoDaddy to
MarkMonitor (and, tbh, I'm rather puzzled by why the WMF decided to use GoDaddy
in the first place), I'm just rather puzzled by your statements here.
The official blog post says that «the Foundation was already utilizing
MarkMonitor’s brand protection services».[1]
It's nice that we've recovered some domains which were confusing users,
and I hope we'll get more, I like the WIPO cases which were positive or
the WMF; but I'm confident that brand protection can continue to be
pursued in a balanced way, without joining the traditional
copyright/"intellectual property" police.
