Trademark turmoil as Amazon doesn’t get its own way - As explained in a previous Tech Law post the expansion of the addressing system that the Internet relies on is undergoing a major expansion of what are known as generic top level domains (gTLDs).

Now companies can buy and control generic words like .books and .music and then rent out new domain names as each new address will be an unique address like www.harrypotter.books.

Het idee van een 'dotless' domein houdt in dat mensen bijvoorbeeld kunnen surfen naar http://search/, dus zonder .com of .nl. Google stelde voor om dat domein door te laten wijzen naar een zoekmachine die de gebruiker zelf kiest. De IAB denkt echter niet dat dit goed ... read more ...

ICANN would be well-advised to answer this question very ... read more ...
