But at the other hand, they try to defend the domainnames of their own Olympics
The organisation committee for the 2008 Beijing Olympics has issued a statement warning companies and individuals not to attempt to typosquat
www.lawdit.co.uk/reading_room/ room/view_category.asp?catcode=42
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It discusses how proposed rules would allow Whois to list only a technical contact for each domain name. A technical contact could be a web hosting company rather than an individual owner.
This would make it difficult for trademark owners to send cease and desist letters to people they think are cybersquatting. Trademark owners would have to skip this step and go directly to a UDRP or get a subpoena. This could be bad for domainers, as typically the issue can be worked out at the cease and desist stage

-----------------------------------------------------------------
The article focuses on another revenue source — revenue from parked domains. In this case it’s domains registered at GoDaddythat the owners aren’t doing anything with. These domains resolve to GoDaddy parking pages fed by Google ads.

international us law
Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP), October 24, 1999
Applicable Disputes. You are required to submit to a mandatory administrative proceeding in the event that a third party (a "complainant") asserts to the applicable Provider, in compliance with the Rules of Procedure, that
(i) your domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the complainant has rights; and
(ii) you have no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and
(iii) your domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA), Signed by President Clinton, November 29, 1999
A person shall be liable in a civil action by the owner of a mark, including a personal name which is protected as a mark under this section, if, without regard to the goods or services of the parties, that person --
(i) has a bad faith intent to profit from that mark, including a personal name which is protected as a mark under this section; and...
In a case involving a violation of section 43(d)(1), the plaintiff may elect, at any time before final judgment is rendered by the trial court, to recover, instead of actual damages and profits, an award of statutory damages in the amount of not less than $1,000 and not more than $100,000 per domain name, as the court considers just.

In 2005 before the start of this free .be domain madness campaign, the responsable minister for this issue, answered a question in the parliament about typosquatting.
http://www.dekamer.be/QRVA/pdf/51/51K0078.pdf
The minister declares here that this is against the law in Belgium (26 june 2003) but there is no penalty foreseen in this law. That is why the Administration has done no research and no prosecution and that no-one has filed a complaint either.
He says that there is no other choice than to go to the WIPO or use the arbitration that Cepina has set up together with dns.be
that is how it is done http://www.cepina.be/NL/default.aspx?PId=24
that are the few that have done it http://www.cepina.be/NL/default.aspx?PId=134 and this is the reason why (high cost)

**__Some selected decisions__**In the case of **, **the Respondent has deliberately added to the Complainant’s mark the prefix “www-”, which is, as the Complainant contends, a commonly used typosquatting method, making the disputed domain name confusingly similar to the mark in which the Complainant has rights. This finding is supported by the fact that there is a phonetic similarity between the disputed domain name and the official website of the Complainant. The Panel notes the decisions in several cases under the Policy in which adding the prefix “www-” to a complainant’s mark was condemned as typosquatting
In the case of **, **an extraneous letter K has been added to the beginning of the mark, K being the letter immediately to the right of J on a standard keyboard. This kind of misspelling takes advantage of the proximity of two letters on the keyboard and creates, as the Complainant contends, confusing similarity with the mark. The Complainant’s mark is not descriptive but is highly distinctive. As other Panels have decided under the Policy (see Reuters Limited v. Global Net 2000, Inc., WIPO Case No. D2000-0441), a domain name which differs by only one letter from a trademark has a greater tendency to be confusingly similar to the complainant’s mark. Therefore, the Panel concludes that there is a confusing similarity between the Complainant’s mark and the disputed domain name .
The parking of a domain name by itself does not necessarily represent evidence of bad faith registration and use of the domain name. However, the display of the unsolicited pop-up advertisements for a variety of goods and services on the disputed domain names sites may represent evidence of bad faith in the sense of paragraph 4(b)(iv) of the Policy if the Respondent benefits financially from it.

__**Chinese lower protection of brandnames in domainnames**__ The registry for .CN, China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), is amending its rules for domain name dispute resolutions. The new rules, which take effect March 17, may leave trademark owners without claim over some domain names. The new rules will provide a narrower definition of cybersquatting, and will now use the term only to refer to people who register domain names and sell them to rivals of a company that owns the rights to the name instead of anyone who registers a domain name for the purpose of renting or selling it. An English-language version of the new rules is expected to be available soon on the CNNIC Web site. While .CN domain names were primarily used by international companies in the past, small and mid-sized companies in China are also starting to adopt them. According to CNNIC, there are about one million registered .CN domain names now.

Why is Google indexing parked domains? Money. What information on a parked domain needs to be organized for general search? None or almost none. All this does is add an extra paying click between the user and the information they are after. It builds millions of indexable billboards into the index so people will pay for traffic that they could get straight from the SERPs if the parked domains weren't there.
http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum89/11369-5-10.htm
The problem is that __**Google owns oingo.com**__, one of the largest "parked domain" companies out there and not only indexes them in their database but also serves advertising on them and integrates these sites with the database of the normal sites.
__**the fraud is **__
Yahoo! and Google are breaking this “Pay Per Click Promise” by allowing these ads to be placed on pages other than search results. This type of Syndication Fraud is running rampant across the web particularly among parked pages (where domain speculators purchase domain names for the sole purpose of monetizing the natural traffic on them) and dynamic doorway pages (dynamically generated pages are created to fool search engines so they can show up on natural/organic search results).
http://www.threadwatch.org/node/6110
Some advertisers complained about this and got __**this response **__from Google when they didn't want to accept the fact that even the site exclusion tool for their adcampaigns didn't allow them to opt out from such domainparking (fraud) services.
I understand that you're concerned that your ads may be appearing on %5BGoogle-owned-parking service%5D.com even though you've added this URL to the site exclusion tool.
%5BGoogle-owned-parking service%5D.com is part of the Adsense for Domains networks and although most of these sites may be excluded with the site exclusion tool there are some exceptions that may not. This is due to the fact that some of these sites are of a hybrid type and are considered both part of the search and the content network. Oingo is one of these exceptions.
translated : If you opt out our domainparking service, than your visibility across the whole database will suffer. Blackmail.

The other problem is that by owning Oingo Google owns now domainnames with tradenames from her direct competitor and off which these domainnames have as sole purpose to redirect traffic from this sole competitor (source Microsoft research)

Redirected from 5 domains:

It is also a problem that Google serves advertising on these kind of pages, which would be the same as placing ads on stolen cars.

email@hidden () — Wed, 26 Apr 2006 23:03:05 +0000

In the case of , the Respondent has deliberately added to the Complainant’s mark the prefix “www-”, which is, as the Complainant contends, a commonly used typosquatting method, making the disputed domain name confusingly similar to the mark in which the Complainant has rights. This finding is supported by the fact that there is a phonetic similarity between the disputed domain name and the official website of the Complainant. The Panel notes the decisions in several cases under the Policy in which adding the prefix “www-” to a complainant’s mark was condemned as typosquatting In the case of , an extraneous letter K has been added to the beginning of the mark, K being the letter immediately to the right of J on a standard keyboard. This kind of misspelling takes advantage of the proximity of two letters on the keyboard and creates, as the Complainant contends, confusing similarity with the mark. The Complainant’s mark is not descriptive but is highly distinctive. As other Panels have decided under the Policy (see Reuters Limited v. Global Net 2000, Inc., WIPO Case No. D2000-0441), a domain name which differs by only one letter from a trademark has a greater tendency to be confusingly similar to the complainant’s mark. Therefore, the Panel concludes that there is a confusing similarity between the Complainant’s mark and the disputed domain name . The parking of a domain name by itself does not necessarily represent evidence of bad faith registration and use of the domain name. However, the display of the unsolicited pop-up advertisements for a variety of goods and services on the disputed domain names sites may represent evidence of bad faith in the sense of paragraph 4(b)(iv) of the Policy if the Respondent benefits financially from it. http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/decisions/html/2004/d2004-0787.html nov 2004 Paragraph 4(a) of the Policy requires that the Complainant must prove each of the following three elements to obtain an order that a domain name should be cancelled or transferred: (1) the domain name registered by Respondent is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which Complainant has rights; Complainant has established its rights to the mark that is contained in its entirety in the domain name registered by Respondent. Although not identical, the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to Complainant’s mark. The mere removal of the letter “s” does not change the overall impression created by this domain name; it creates a domain name that is confusingly similar to Complainant’s mark. See Universal City Studios, Inc. v. HarperStephens, D2000-0716 (WIPO Sept. 5, 2000) (finding that deleting the letter “s” from the Complainant’s UNIVERSAL STUDIOS STORE mark does not change the overall impression of the mark and thus makes it confusingly similar to the Complainant’s mark); see also V Secret Catalog, Inc. v. Internet Inv. Firm Trust “In Trust”, FA 94344 (Nat. Arb. Forum May 9, 2000) (finding that the omission of the possessive “s” from the VICTORIA’S SECRET mark in the disputed domain name did not defeat confusing similarity). (2) Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and Further, in directing users away from Complainant’s website, Respondent’s use of the disputed domain name did not constitute a bona fide offering of goods or services within the definition of the Policy ¶ 4(c)(i). See Ticketmaster Corp. v. DiscoverNet, Inc., D2001-0252 (WIPO Apr. 9, 2001) (finding no rights or legitimate interests where Respondent generated commercial gain by intentionally and misleadingly diverting users away from the Complainant\'s site to a competing website); see also Société des Bains de Mer v. International Lotteries, D2000-1326 (WIPO Jan. 8, 2001) (finding no rights or legitimate interests where Respondent used the casinomontecarlo.com and montecarlocasinos.com domain names in connection with an unaffiliated online gambling website (3) the domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith. Moreover, “typosquatting,” the practice of registering similar but inaccurate domain names, has been recognized as a bad faith use of a domain name under the Policy. See, e.g., AltaVista Co. v. Stoneybrook, D2000-0886 (WIPO Oct. 26, 2000) (awarding “wwwalavista.com”, among other misspellings of altavista.com, to Complainant); see also Dow Jones & Co. & Dow Jones, L.P. v. Powerclick, Inc., D2000-1259 (WIPO Dec. 1, 2000) (awarding domain names “wwwdowjones.com”, “wwwwsj.com”, “wwwbarrons.com” and “wwwbarronsmag.com” to Complainants).

What does Internet explorer do Microsoft\'s Internet Explorer automatically redirects users\' mistyped URL queries to their MSN Search page. Though a user can reconfigure their browser to use a different search tool, Google, one of MSN\'s biggest rivals, is not in the list. However, on their web site, Google has explained how to make their search engine the IE default for mistyped urls. http://www.google.com/options/defaults.html

This is for the moment the place where we will organise all the information - and new comments about the typosquatting plaque in the .be domain.
Typosquatting is where domainnames are registred only because they contain typing mistakes of domainnames with enormous or important traffic. The goals are to sell them to the rightous owners or to get some traffic for the ads that are hosted on the pages. Some install spyware on the computers.
It should be easy for the firms or institutions that manage domainnames to refuse this kind of domainnames or to use the tools to control if some of these domainnames are being created or used with solely that purpose, to declare it illegal and to transfer the ownership of the domain. It should also be possible to block this kind of registration before activating it by declaring the practise illegal.

Than you will have to take a safe computer (preferably one that you only use for such tasks if you are working with confidential data) and visit the sites. Take a screenshot (for example with screenhunter http://www.snapfiles.com/get/screenhunter.html
If the site has only advertising or porn or has no legal reason of being there (or in the worst case is a copy of your own site) than you have to do a whois
My preferred one is the one from www.geektools.be or for the belgians www.dns.be With this data you can also add a spyware check (for example with search and destroy http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/Spybot_-_Search_and_Destroy/spybot.html
And with all these facts you ask the owner of the domain space (.be for belgium etc...) to transfer or block the domains.

Try to find who is responsable for the domain You can use http://www.dns.be/whois/ and type the names of the domains that you have found. ----------------------------------------------------------- DNs.be will try not to intervene at all and in 2005 the person responsable for dns.be wrote that the victims had to turn to a court for such issues and didn\'t had complain with dns.be \"Klachten betreffende domeinkaping worden best niet ingediend bij DNS BE. Op onze site staat wel de nodige info welke mogelijkheden er bestaan. In principe zijn er dit twee: ofwel via de gewone rechtbank, ofwel een zogenaamde alternatieve geschillenregeling via Cepina. Let wel, in beide gevallen moet je bepaalde rechten kunnen laten gelden op de domeinnaam in kwestie (internet.be claimen omdat je vage plannen hebt om een online winkel te beginnen volstaat dus echt wel niet).\" Meer info op: http://www.dns.be/nl/home.php?n=356 http://www.cepina.be/NL/default.aspx?PId=122 Peter op 19 juli 2005 om 11:30 http://standaard.typepad.com/en_nu_even_ernstig/2005/07/typosquatting_e.html --------------------------------------------------------------- Try to sue the agent http://www.domain-ethix.be/nl/Commission/composition.html even typosquatted belgacom.be has a representative but according to the website there is no complaint since 2003 a reason for this is that the agents against which the complaints are, have not signed the code of conduct http://www.dns.be/info/nl/agent/registered. At one hand you can only register .be names with agents that have signed this code of conduct but this is the world upside down. It should - especially in the Wild Wild Web - that to be an agent you MUST have signed this code of conduct (and even that is questionable becauce the judicial power of this is totally voluntary). and in the code of conduct is typosquatting implicit refused De agent zal geen \'voorraad\' domeinnamen aanleggen om vervolgens de klant onder druk te kunnen zetten om de domeinnaam van zijn keuze bij hem aan te vragen tegen mogelijks exorbitante tarieven ------------------------------------------------------------ some domain registrars have foreseen this and you can complain with them directly Bestellingen van domeinnamen via gratisbe.be zijn onderworpen aan dezelfde voorwaarden als de andere hosting en domeinnaamdiensten van Stone Internet Services / 1-eurohost.com. Er zijn echter 2 uitzonderingen op deze voorwaarden: 1. Domeinnamen besteld in kader van de dns.be actie zijn niet gebonden aan de opzegtermijn van 60 dagen. Deze worden niet stilzwijgend verlengd en worden enkel verlengd op vraag van de klant aan het overeengekomen tarief. 2. De domeinnamen mogen niet aangewend worden voor cybersquatting of domein warehousing. http://www.gratisbe.be/voorwaarden.html It says that if the domainsquatting or for sale lookalike has been registered through them, they can act. I am not sure if each registrar has done this, but this is something you can check. But this is only if the .be domainname was used in the free campaign. If they pay for it, I am not sure that this would work although DNS.Be should be able to refuse to register it because there is a complaint against the domainname. ------------------------------------------------------------- try using the law and according to their own procedures explained here for domain names that are more or less identical http://www.dns.be/fr/DomainInfo/adrproc.htm french http://www.dns.be/nl/DomainInfo/adrproc.htm dutch http://www.dns.be/en/home.php?n=54 english Wet betreffende het wederrechtelijk registreren van domeinnamen opgemaakt of de wetgever ook beoogde tegen typosquatting op te treden.

Microsoft has released a tool to control if others were using the misspelling of others while searching the web and registered wrongtyped versions of your domainnames. Mostly those pages have just ads, searchfiles and spyware to install on your machine. http://research.microsoft.com/URLTracer/ When a user visits a Web site, her browser may be instructed to visit other third-party domains without her knowledge. Some of these third-party domains raise security, privacy, and safety concerns. The Strider URL Tracer, available for download, is a tool that reveals these third-party domains, and it includes a Typo-Patrol feature that generates and scans sites that capitalize on inadvertent URL misspellings, a process known as typo-squatting. The tool also enables parents to block typo-squatting domains that serve adult ads on typos of children\'s Web sites and how they work is explained here http://research.microsoft.com/Typo%2DPatrol/ if you have trouble dowloading, this is a functional http download link http://ftpclubic10.clubic.com/temp-clubic-rx624/logiciel/msr-strider-url-tracer_msr_strider_url_tracer_1.0.1.0_anglais_19583.msi you will need IE 6.0 (www.windowsupdate.com) and not IE 7 beta and you will also need .net installed (automatic link opens and in xp there is no restart necessary).
