Which is exactly why pseudo.org may lose their domain name. The
non-infringing non-commercial domain name holder can't afford tens of
thousands of dollars. The reverse domain name hijackers have very little
downside. All they need do is claim infringement (even though there is NO
analysis in the US that supports the claim, and they know it) and he domain
name holder's only recourse is to spend tens of thousands in legal fees
that generally aren't shifted back to the reverse hijacker in court.
WIPO's policy wouldn't be any better. And people wonder why individuals
and small business domain name holders need representation.
