WebEx Slaps Citrix with Cyber-Squatting Suit: "A week after entering the remote-access market, WebEx Communications has sued one of its top competitors for allegedly cyber-squatting.
WebEx Communications Inc. announced Thursday that it has filed a federal lawsuit against Citrix Systems Inc., accusing the competitor of intentionally registering a series of Internet domain names that contain the name of WebEx's new service."
MyWebExPC (free for up to 5 PCs until 2005/04/04, then $9.95/PC/month for full-featured version; see Plans) is an interesting twist on WebEx's services/positioning.
So what about the $500 USD I payed to reclaim a TLD without a 's' to stop squatting by UK based businesses (paid to VERISIGN snap names).. Still got some on other 2ndTLD's, and M$ along with RUPARDS my space registers my TLD as a NIC name in its chats!
ReplyDeleteAlong with all that, what about the Un-Addressed Junk Mail supported by Proxy in my country. Tacking on Faked news stories like these to baloon out on the web, supressing free speach.
Must be gr8 to create laws simply for profit!
