EntourageMovie.com and EntourageFilm.com hit with UDRP.
Filming has begun for the big screen adaptation of the HBO hit show Entourage, which follows movie star Vincent Chase and his entourage.
Someone behind the film–most likely the movie studio– HBO has filed a cybersquatting complaint with the National Arbitration Forum against the domain names EntourageMovie.com and EntourageFilm.com.
Both domain names are registered to a Florida man, Cody Thompson, although the ownership records have jumped around.
EntourageMovie.com was registered in 2007, and later expired and was re-registered in 2009. Whois records have shown owners in New Jersey, Hong Kong, Zimbabwe, Romania, and Virginia before Thompson became the owner.
EntourageFilm.com was registered in 2011 by someone in Glendale, California who later let the domain expire. Thompson registered the domain in 2013.
Update: HBO won the case.
