Which company won a case against Cybersquatting, engaging in abusive behavior over a website, with respect to its website in UK?
(Apple, with it's I-tunes website)
There is an interesting story behind this incident.
People who want to use Apple's popular iTunes service in Britain must go to the Web page www.itunes.com/uk, not www.itunes.co.uk. This site is owned by Benjamin Cohen, a 22-year-old British entrepreneur. He is the founder of CyberBritain, an Internet company that registered www.itunes.co.uk in November 2000, two months before Apple introduced its iTunes music store. Last November, Apple offered to buy the domain. When the two sides could not agree on a price, Apple appealed to Nominet, the British registry for Internet names, and was eventually awarded the domain.Nominet ruled that, by trying to capitalize on the iTunes domain, Cohen was the party engaging in an abusive behavior, commonly known as cybersquatting. "Apple wrote to my lawyer, who is also my father, offering to buy the domain name for $5,000," said Cohen. "That would barely have covered our legal costs." He suggested an amount equivalent to $94,000, "a sum which includes a premium since I don't actually want to sell it." Nominet ruled that Cohen's fatal mistake was not what he did when he registered the domain so much as what it did with it later. According to Nominet's investigation, Cohen subsequently sent an e-mail message to Napster, a rival music service, in October 2004 asking if it would be interested in buying his iTunes domain. The message said that Cohen's company owned and registered the name before Apple introduced the iPod. Napster was not interested in Cohen's offer but Nominet's expert ruled that the e-mail message had showed "abusive intent." Nominet then awarded the domain to Apple.
