Jess my man,

Can you please lighten up and see that you and Mr. Young see things the same in most respects?

Please take a look and if you speak of consistence, you will find the law applied half assed.

May I be so bold as to take a stab at consensus between you as though I were acting as some
half assed chair?

a.    human concern must prevail over commercial concern.
b.    Icann, UDRP and WIPO should place individuals above Industrial concerns.
c.    We do not need a regulatory body to defend IP interests, but rather one to defend
        individual interests.

Peace and happy new year,
Eric

I don't disagree.  However, the law as it currently exists recognizes the right of trademark holders over domain names whether we agree or not.  I'm just arguing to limit that right to a few domains.

First of all, you cannot apply the law half-assed to where you want it like limiting it to a few domains and not all!  Fortunately or unfortunately, laws come in one-size only.

Second of all, it is not the trademark law, but how  the legal system  is being abused by WIPO and ICANN for the benefit of a few.   The Courts do recognize the rights of common law and first usage under the trademark laws.
