Domain parking clawback dings Demand Media earnings, and initial demeanour during Rightside numbers - Company hit with parking clawback from a previous quarter. Ask any domain parking company about their top frustrations, and clawbacks will be high on the list.

These clawbacks can apparently be quite big, as evidenced in today’s Demand Media earnings call. Speaking about a tough third quarter, Demand ... read more ...

Yesterday WIPO posted its decision in a UDRP for the DriveUPS.com domain name, finding in favor of the shipping company UPS and ordering the domain name transferred. This decision did not hinge on the fact that the domain was parked with ads related to shipping and delivery. It had more to do with the domain owner reaching out to UPS to try to sell it the domain name. But the parked page ads certainly ... read more ...

The extraordinary box of .pets - ICDR posted two different panelist documents for the same exact top level domain string confusion objection. I’ve had a lot to gripe about the online systems for International Centre for Dispute Resolution when it comes to string confusion objections. One of those gripes was that the decision in Afilias vs. Donuts over .pets suddenly disappeared from the ICDR’s website in August. ICDR updated the case list earlier this week and the Donuts’ .pets decision is ... read more ...
