I'm curious about something. Many of you have probably seen the
register.com commericals, where they have people touting the domains
they've registered (e.g., sisterearth.com, hydrowatts.com, thefabers.com).
Checking the whois database, of course, reveals all these domains are
actually owned by register.com.
Particularly in the case of thefabers.com, what recourse would a family
with the last name of Faber have against this blatant squatting?
These domains that register.com are using are not tied to or
representative of any 'product or service', except that they are
domain names, and register.com sells domain names.
Would someone have a case to take these domains away from register.com
under the UDRP? What are the implications should the arbiters decide
that register.com deserves to keep these names?
