Microsoft Corporation v. Patrick McAuliffe. Claim Number: FA0912001297333
Tikfoutprofiteur moet Bing-domeinen afgeven en linkt door naar Google
Een man die internetdomeinen had geregistreerd die leken op het adres van Microsofts zoekmachine Bing, moet de domeinen overdragen aan MS. Dat heeft het National Arbitration Forum beslist na een klacht van het Amerikaanse bedrijf, meldt Webwereld.walter will wawrinka bing
Acht domeinnamen
De Ierse 'tikfoutprofiteur' Patrick McAuliffe moet acht domeinnamen inleveren bij Microsoft, omdat ze op een of andere manier de naam van de zoekmachine in zich hebben. Het gaat om wwwbing.com, wwbing.com, wwwwbing.com, bingf.com, b8ng.com, b9ng.com, binfg.com, en binhg.com. Als laatste protest linken ze nu door naar concurrent Google.

Leugens
De Ier claimde bij de registratie nog nooit te hebben gehoord van Bing, maar die claim wijst het Forum van de hand. McAuliffe zei de namen te hebben geregistreerd voor een boek dat hij aan het schrijven is, maar ook daar geloven de rechters niks van. McAuliffe had de domeinen bovendien al tevergeefs te koop aangeboden aan Microsoft. (sam)
Microsoft wins domain name case covering eight domains
Microsoft,the United States-based multinational computer technology corporation has recently won a domain name case against Patrick McAuliffe. The company submitted a complaint to the National Arbitration Forum,requesting eight domain names,wwwbing.com, wwbing.com,wwwwbing.com,bingf.com,b8ng.com,b9ng.com> ,binfg.com, and binhg.com to be transferred from the respondent to the complainant.
Bing is the current web search engine from Microsoft.Therefore,Microsoft has applied to register the "Bing" trademark in a number of jurisdictions in including United States and Trademark Office.
The complainant accuses Patrick McAuliffe for registering a confusingly similar to its trademark and,moreover,for registering and using the disputed domain names in bad faith.
On the other hand,the respondent gives some interesting answers in his defense.He sent a relatively short email to the National Arbitration Forum in which he explained that he was unaware of wwwbing.com being similar to complainant's trademark.
" Microsoft launched bing.com on 28th May 2009. This was a full two months AFTER I registered wwwbing.com on on 26th march 2009. I was at that time unaware of wwwbing.com being similar to the search engine bing.com.
I am using the domain wwwbing.com to promote a children's book called "Walter Will Wawrinka Bing". It involves a troll who has supernatural and magical powers in modern Scandinavia. It will be published on the 5th April 2010 in Ireland. I have every right to register a domain name to promote a book.",said Patrick McAuliffe in his response.
Moreover,he explained in the e-mail that he never sent an e-mail to Bill Gates offering him to sell the wwwbing.com domain name .
However,Microsoft provided evidence that the respondent wanted to sell the domain name to the complainant.
Because Microsoft managed to demonstrate all the elements needed,the Panel ordered that the domain names be transferred from the respondent to the complainant.
Tikfoutprofiteur linkt Bing door naar Google
Gepubliceerd: Maandag 18 januari 2010
Auteur: Loek Essers
Een Ierse tikfoutprofiteur die Bing-domeinen bezit, moet die inleveren bij Microsoft. Als laatste protest linken ze nu door naar concurrent Google.
Patrick McAuliffe moet acht domeinnamen inleveren bij Microsoft omdat ze op een of andere manier de naam van zoekmachine Bing in zich hebben. Het gaat om wwwbing.com, wwbing.com, wwwwbing.com, bingf.com, b8ng.com, b9ng.com, binfg.com, en binhg.com. Het National Arbitration Forum besliste na een klacht van Microsoft in het voordeel van de softwaregigant. Bing is een vastgelegd merk.
De Ier is schuldig bevonden voor de door Microsoft geuite beschuldiging domeinen geregistreerd te hebben die "verwarrend dicht bij het vastgelegde merk liggen". Ook zou hij de domeinen met bijbedoelingen geregistreerd hebben. Uit het oordeel van NAF blijkt dat McAuliffe het hier niet mee eens is, hij claimt bij registratie nog nooit iets van Bing te hebben gehoord. "Microsoft heeft op 28 mei 2009 bing.com gelanceerd. Dat is een volle twee maanden NADAT ik wwwbing.com registreerde op 26 maart 2009. Ik was destijds er niet van op de hoogte dat wwwbing.com leek op de zoekmachine bing.com."
Kinderboek
McAuliffe gebruikte wwwbing.com naar eigen zeggen om het kinderboek "Walter Will Wawrinka Bing" te promoten. Het boek gaat over een Scandinavische trol die bovennatuurlijke krachten heeft. "Ik heb alle rechten om een domein te registreren om mijn boek te promoten", aldus McAuliffe. Microsoft verwees zijn claims naar het rijk der fabelen door aan te tonen dat de Ier in oktober 2009 geprobeerd heeft de tikfoutdomeinen aan de softwaregigant te slijten.
Het is onwaarschijnlijk dat er echt een boek bestaan heeft. McAuliffe claimt dat het boek "beter dan Harry Potter wordt" en ergens in 2010 moet verschijnen. Volgens TechCrunch was er voordat er werd bericht over het tikfoutdomein wwwtwitter.com slecht een beperkt aantal links te zien op wwwbing.com. Na publicatie over wwwtwitter.com werd de site van McAuliffe aangepast en was er een in zijn neus pulkende trol te zien met als begeleidende tekst: "Welkom op de Walter Wil Wawrinka Bing fansite."
Bing-boycot
Bezoekers werden ook uitgenodigd een zoekopdracht naar "Walter Will Wawrinka Bing" uit te voeren waarna een lijst volgde met alle mogelijke zoekmachines om de opdracht uit te voeren, behalve Bing. Google werd als eerste optie aangegeven. In dezelfde post van ict-nieuwsblog TechCrunch geeft McAuliffe toe dat hij de domeinen heeft aangeboden aan Microsoft. Het blog publiceert ook het antwoord dat Microsoft gaf. Het bedrijf besloot de boot af te houden en de domeinen via NAF terug te vorderen.
NAF concludeert na het zien van de e-mail dat er weliswaar niet om een geldbedrag werd gevraagd door McAuliffe, maar dat hij het domein wel te koop zette. De domeineigenaar deed dat met de mededeling: "Er is een recessie gaande in Ierland en mijn vrouw en dochters kunnen wel wat geld gebruiken."
Doorverwezen naar Google
Volgens NAF was de merknaam Bing ten tijde van registratie van de domeinen wel degelijk bekend bij een groot gedeelte van het publiek. Daarom wordt McAuliffe verordonneerd de domeinen over te dragen aan Microsoft. Dit is nog niet gebeurd. Als laatste streek laat McAuliffe alle domeinen in zijn bezit automatisch doorverwijzen naar Google.
Microsoft vince una disputa per otto nomi a dominio
Il colosso Microsoft si rivolto al National Arbitration Forum per ottenere il trasferimento di ben otto nomi a dominio: wwwbing.com, wwbing.com, wwwwbing.com, bingf.com, b8ng.com, b9ng.com, binfg.com e binhg.com.
Bing il nuovo motore di ricerca creato da Microsoft e al centro dellattenzione nel settore tecnologico. Il termine Bing ovviamente un marchio registrato nella maggior parte del mondo.
Microsoft accusa il possessore dei domini contestati, Patrick McAuliffe, di averli registrati volutamente troppo simili al marchio Bing per trarre in inganno gli utenti ed utilizzarli per scopi malevoli. McAuliffe ha risposto alle accuse con motivazioni piuttosto interessanti tramite una breve mail.
McAuliffe ha dichiarato di non essere conscio che wwwbing.com fosse troppo simile al marchio registrato, dato che Microsoft ha lanciato Bing il 28 Maggior 2009, mentre il dominio contestato era stato registrato ben due mesi prima del lancio, il 26 Marzo 2009. Ha inoltre dichiarato di aver utilizzato il dominio wwwbing.com per pubblicizzare il libro per bambini chiamato Walter Will Wawrinka Bing, il cui acronimo appunto wwwbing.
McAuliffe ha inoltre assicurato di non aver mai mandato una mail a Bill Gates per offrirgli di acquistare i domini contestati, ma Microsoft ha portato delle prove inoppugnabili al Panel che ha deciso in favore del colosso americano, ordinando il trasferimento di tutti gli otto domini.
A Troll Squats On WWWBING.com ? Literally
MG Siegler
TechCrunch.com
Friday, October 16, 2009; 7:58 PM
Last week, we wrote about the best website ever, wwwtwitter.com. Okay, really it's just a commonly mistyped domain that is currently redirecting to TechCrunch (and the owner actually updated it to direct to my article specifically ? thanks, whoever you are!). In that post, I mentioned that while many big name brands own the wwwBRANDNAME.com domain and forward it to their real one, Microsoft did not own it for their current darling site, Bing.
At the time, the domain simply pointed to a page with a bunch of links. But since our story, the author decided to do something a bit more fun with it. As you can see now, wwwbing.com is a lovely page featuring a squatting troll. As a bonus, the troll is picking its nose and snot appears to be dripping out.
The site is titled, "Welcome to Walter Will Wawrinka Bing Fansite," and it's supposedly about an upcoming children's book, due in 2010, that the author hopes "can be as successful as Harry Potter."
So that might be legitimate, right? But the funniest part is that Patrick McAuliffe, the owner of the domain also writes, "Feel free to do a search for Walter Will Wawrinka Bing in the following search engines," and then goes on to list every single search engine besides Bing. Yes, even Lycos, AltaVista, and Excite. Naturally, Google is first.
What else is funny is that a query for "Walter Will Wawrinka Bing" provides absolutely no results at all on any of the search engines (though it may after this post!).
I asked McAuliffe if Microsoft had reached out to him about acquiring the domain. Instead, it was McAuliffe who reached out to Microsoft with a proposal to sell the domain, and here is the response he got back:
Hello PatrickI was asked by Bill's team to personally respond to your proposal.I am a business development manager that works with teams across Microsoft to manage a review process of unsolicited proposals. We provide resources, feedback and next steps.I have forwarded your information to our domain registrations group for their consideration. This group works directly with the various business groups on domain names and reviews proposals to determine alignment with our business.I do want to help set your expectations on follow-up. Given the volume of inquiries they receive, they generally only respond where there is interest on behalf of the business group. Once submitted to the team, I will no longer have any visibility regarding the submission or its status. As a general guideline, if you have not received a response within a two week timeframe, it is unlikely there is any interest in your domain property.Thank you for your interest in Microsoft.
Gotta love that Microsoft bureaucracy. But maybe they don't mind that a site a ton of people are probably mistyping, redirects to a picture of a squatting troll picking its nose that suggest you search on Google. Who knows.
NATIONAL ARBITRATION FORUM
DECISION
Microsoft Corporation v. Patrick McAuliffe
Claim Number: FA0912001297333
PARTIES
Complainant is Microsoft Corporation (Complainant), represented by Molly Buck Richard, of Richard Law Group, Inc., Texas, USA. Respondent is Patrick McAuliffe (Respondent), Ireland.
REGISTRAR AND DISPUTED DOMAIN NAMES
The domain names at issue are
PANEL
The undersigned certifies that he has acted independently and impartially and to the best of his knowledge has no known conflict in serving as Panelist in this proceeding.
Debrett G. Lyons as Panelist.
PROCEDURAL HISTORY
Complainant submitted a Complaint to the National Arbitration Forum electronically on December 3, 2009; the National Arbitration Forum received a hard copy of the Complaint on December 4, 2009.
On December 4, 2009, Register Spa confirmed by e-mail to the National Arbitration Forum that the
On December 4, 2009, a Notification of Complaint and Commencement of Administrative Proceeding (the Commencement Notification), setting a deadline of December 24, 2009 by which Respondent could file a Response to the Complaint, was transmitted to Respondent via e-mail, post and fax, to all entities and persons listed on Respondents registration as technical, administrative and billing contacts, and to postmaster@wwwbing.com, postmaster@wwbing.com, postmaster@wwwwbing.com, postmaster@bingf.com, postmaster@b8ng.com, postmaster@b9ng.com, postmaster@binfg.com, and postmaster@binhg.com by e-mail.
Respondent's Response was received in electronic copy on December 14, 2009. However, since no hard copy reached the National Arbitration Forum by the deadline, the Response is considered deficient under ICANN Rule 5.
On December 22, 2009, pursuant to Complainants request to have the dispute decided by a single-member Panel, the National Arbitration Forum appointed Debrett G. Lyons as Panelist.
RELIEF SOUGHT
Complainant requests that the domain names be transferred from Respondent to Complainant.
PARTIES CONTENTIONS
A. Complainant
Complainant asserts trademark rights and alleges that the disputed domain names are identical or confusingly similar to its trademark.
Complainant alleges that Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain names.
Complainant alleges that Respondent registered and used the disputed domain names in bad faith.
The detail of the Complaint, so far as relevant, is found in the Discussion which follows.
B. Respondent
As noted, the Response was non-compliant with ICANN Rule 5. The Panel nonetheless has discretion whether to admit the Response or not.[i]
The Response consists of a relatively short email, without attachments, sent to the National Arbitration Forum on December 12, 2009. On December 14, 2009 the Forum wrote to Respondent reminding him that he had until December 24, 2009 to submit the hard copy of the Response. That communication went on to explain to Respondent that if you reply to this email, copying the Complainant, confirming that your Response is complete, the Forum will continue with the administration of this proceeding and appoint a Panel within 5 days. The document will be included in the file, and will be treated as a non-compliant Response. On December 14, 2009 Respondent replied to the Forum confirming that the Response was complete.
Notwithstanding a partys obligation to properly inform itself of the Rules to the UDRP, it seems to this Panel that there is some chance that Respondent may have not properly understood the Forums December 24, 2009 message. Making allowance for that possibility and taking account of the brief nature of the Response and the fact that it does rely on any documentary evidence which should properly be available to Complainant in hard copy form, the Panel has decided to admit the Response.
For simplicitys sake, the Panel has set out below the Response in full.
A."CONFUSINGLY SIMILAR DOMAIN NAMES"
Microsoft launched bing.com on 28th May 2009. This was a full two months AFTER I registered wwwbing.com on on 26th march 2009. I was at that time unaware of wwwbing.com being similar to the search engine bing.com.
B."NO RIGHTS OR LEGITIMATE INTERESTS IN DOMAIN NAME"
I am using the domain wwwbing.com to promote a children's book called
"Walter Will Wawrinka Bing". It involves a troll who has supernatural
and magical powers in modern Scandinavia. It will be published on the
5th April 2010 in Ireland. I have every right to register a domain name to promote a book.
C."REGISTRATION AND USE IN BAD FAITH"
I was not familiar with Complainant's BING trademark at the time of
registration of the domain name wwwbing.com. The site is currently
non-commercial.
My email address is pmcauliffe2003@yahoo.co.uk which can be officially
seen in the registrant details for wwwbing.com or on wwwbing.com or at
my registrar Namesco Ltd United Kingdom. I do not own the email address patrick.mcauliffe@gmail.com. I never sent an email to Bill Gates offering to sell the domain.
FINDINGS
1. Complainant was founded in 1975 and has since manufactured, marketed and sold computer software and offered related products and services. Its business is enormous.[ii]
2. BING is the name Complainant decided upon in 2009 as the name to replace Live Search for its internet search engine.
3. Complainant made that search engine publicly available through
4. Complainant owns numerous trademark applications and registrations throughout the world for BING.
5. Respondent registered the disputed domain names in the following sequence:
March 10, 2009 -
March 26, 2009 -
April 6, 2009 -
May 11, 2009 -
6. There is no relationship between the parties and Complainant has not authorized Respondent to use its trademark or to register any domain name incorporating its trademark.
DISCUSSION
Paragraph 15(a) of the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the Rules) instructs this Panel to decide a complaint on the basis of the statements and documents submitted in accordance with the Policy, these Rules and any rules and principles of law that it deems applicable.
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 the Respondent is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights;
(2) the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and
(3) the domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
Identical and/or Confusingly Similar
Policy 4(a)(i) requires a two-fold enquiry. First, a threshold investigation of whether a complainant has rights in a trademark, followed by an assessment of whether the trade mark and the domain name are identical or confusingly similar.
Complainant has rights in the trademark BING by virtue of its various trademark registrations.[iii]
The remaining enquiry is whether the domain names are identical or confusingly similar to the trademark. To reiterate, the comparison is BING with
In making that comparison it is broadly accepted that the gTLD, .com can be disregarded.[iv] Complainant contends that the disputed domain names are either legally identical or confusingly similar to its trademark because, once the gTLD is subtracted, the domain names differ from its trademark only in minor misspellings of the trademark or by the addition of other non-distinctive matter such as www.[v]
The Panel agrees with Complainants submissions and finds all of the disputed domain names at least confusingly similar to the trademark BING.
Respondents submissions have no bearing on these findings. For the purposes of Policy 4(a)(i) it is inconsequential that trademark rights postdate the registration date of a disputed domain name.[vi]
The Panel finds that Complainant has established the first limb of the Policy.
Rights or Legitimate Interests
Complainant has the burden to establish that Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the domain name. Nevertheless, it is well settled that Complainant need only make out a prima facie case, after which the onus shifts to Respondent to demonstrate rights or legitimate interests.[vii]
The Policy states that any of the following circumstances, in particular but without limitation, if found by the Panel to be proved based on its evaluation of all evidence presented, shall demonstrate rights or legitimate interests to a domain name for purposes of Policy 4(a)(ii):
(i) before any notice to you of the dispute, your use of, or demonstrable preparations to use, the domain name or a name corresponding to the domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services; or
(ii) you (as an individual, business, or other organization) have been commonly known by the domain name, even if you have acquired no trademark or service mark rights; or
(iii) you are making a legitimate non-commercial or fair use of the domain name, without intent for commercial gain to misleadingly divert consumers or to tarnish the trademark or service mark at issue.
The WHOIS data does not support any argument that Respondent might be commonly known by the disputed domain names. There is no evidence that Respondent has any trademark rights. Complainant has stated there to be no relationship between it and Respondent. The Panel finds that Complainant has established a prima facie case that Respondent lacks rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name.
Respondent attempts to show a legitimate interest because he is using the domain wwwbing.com to promote a children's book called "Walter Will Wawrinka Bing" which will be published in 2010.
There is no evidence of that book or of a publishing contract for it, or an explanation as why Respondent should have registered another seven domain names in addition to
The Panel finds that Complainant has established the second limb of the Policy.
Registration and Use in Bad Faith
Policy 4(b) sets out the circumstances which shall be evidence of the registration and use of a domain name in bad faith. They are:
(i) circumstances indicating that you have registered or you have acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of that complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of your documented out of pocket costs directly related to the domain name; or
(ii) you have registered the domain name in order to prevent the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that you have engaged in a pattern of such conduct; or
(iii) you have registered the domain name primarily for the purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or
(iv) by using the domain name, you have intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to your website or other on‑line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainants mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of your website or location or of a product or service on your website or location.
What is noteworthy about Policy 4(b)(i)-(iv) is that they are all cases of both registration and use in bad faith. Complainant has not relied on any one or more of those grounds but it is logical to first consider their possible application to the facts.
In spite of Respondents denial, the evidence is clear that on June 8, 2009 Respondent sent an email to Complainant with a view to sale of the domain name
The evidence shows that the press began speculating as to Complainants likely adoption of the BING trademark as early as August 1, 2008. Trademark applications were filed for BING in a number of jurisdictions soon after. The Panel finds it more likely than not that by the time Respondent registered the domain name
In those circumstances the Panel can conclude that it is more likely than not that Respondent registered the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name to Complainant. The Panel therefore finds that the registration of
Similar reasoning applies to the other disputed domain names. They have already been found to be confusingly similar to Complainants trademark. Respondent has not shown any bona fide use of them and Respondents submission that it has a legitimate interest in the names has been rejected by the Panel. It follows that it is more likely than not that Respondent registered all of the disputed domain names with the primary intention described by Policy 4(b)(i).
DECISION
Having established all three elements required under the ICANN Policy, the Panel concludes that relief shall be GRANTED.
Accordingly, it is Ordered that the

A troll squats on Bing
Written by Thomas Graham
Recently Microsoft launched a new Web search engine, or in Microsoft positioning-speak a decision engine, called Bing.I suspect youve seen a few of Bings commercials. Theyre quite funny, poking fun at competitor Googles information overload by having the conversation bounce from query response to query response through rapid-fire word association.Another pretty funny development in the search engine market share competition is the appearance on the scene this week of Walter Will Wawrika Bing, a fun-loving, nose picking troll that has squatted on the domain name of wwwbing.com.When consumers begin a search, a common mistake is to fail to include the . between the www and the domain name. So many big name brands own the wwwBRANDNAME.com domain and forward it to their real one. Unfortunately, the worlds largest software company, Microsoft, did not own it for their current most favored site, Bing.Instead, wwwbing.com is owned by Patrick from Ireland who says hes writing a childrens book about a troll named Walter Will Wawrika Bing and he hopes his blockbuster will be bigger than Harry Potter! My friends at TechCrunch tracked Patrick down and report that Microsofts bureaucracy seems uninterested in acquiring the domain from him.According to Patricks email from Microsoft, the product team is responsible for the acquisition, but I suspect before the week is over the Microsoft Corporate Reputation team may have a different view about having a troll pop up any time someone mistypes the name of the companys hot new toy.Domain squatting is a practice I usually detest, but in this case, I think I might root for the troll.Happy trails.
Questionable/Funny Defences in Domain Disputes
In the past, I've read some questionable and funny defences in domain name disputes. Today, this one caught my eye:
Quote:
I am using the domain wwwbing.com to promote a children's book called "Walter Will Wawrinka Bing". It involves a troll who has supernatural and magical powers in modern Scandinavia. It will be published on the 5th April 2010 in Ireland. I have every right to register a domain name to promote a book.
Perhaps the respondent is related to Dr Seuss?
Now I wonder why the respondent also needed to register these domains:

Microsoft wygrywa walkę o wwwbing.com czy słusznie?
Firma Microsoft wygrała domenową sprawę przeciwko Patrickowi McAuliffe. Korporacja zgłosiła skargę do National Arbitration Forum żądając transferu ośmiu domen: wwwbing.com, wwbing.com, wwwwbing.com, bingf.com, b8ng.com, b9ng.com, binfg.com, oraz binhg.com.
O McAuliffem pisaliśmy już przy okazji tekstu o potencjałach domen bez kropki. Microsoft oskarżył go o rejestracje domen łudząco podobnych do ich znakw handlowych i wykorzystywanie ich w złej wierze.
Ciekawe w tej sprawie były wyjaśnienia oskarżonego, ktry w krtkim e-mailu skierowanym do NAF tłumaczył, że był nieświadomy faktu, że wwwbing.com jest podobny do znaku handlowego firmy z Redmond.
Microsoft uruchomił bing.com 28 maja 2009 roku. To dwa pełne miesiące po dacie rejestracji wwwbing.com (26 marca 2009 roku). W tym czasie byłem nieświadomy podobieństwa wwwbing.com do wyszukiwarki bing.com
Wykorzystywałem domenę wwwbing.com do promowania książki dla dzieci pod tytułem Walter Will Wawrinka Bing. Opisywała ona przygody trolla z nadprzyrodzonymi i magicznymi mocami we wspłczesnej Skandynawii. 5 kwietnia 2010 roku zostanie opublikowana w Irlandii. Miałem wszelkie prawo do rejestracji domeny w celu promowania książki.
W dalszej treści tej wiadomości przekonywał, że nigdy nie wysłał e-maila do Billa Gatesa z ofertą sprzedaży domeny wwwbing.com.
Panel NAF uznał jednak racje Microsoftu i nakazał przetransferowanie spornych domen.
Microsoft troll
En juin dernier, Microsoft sortait Bing, son moteur de recherche concurrent Google. Il se dit que Bing signifie Because Its Not Google . Depuis, Bing gagne lentement du terrain sur son principal concurrent. Cela dit, Microsoft a oubli de dposer le nom de domaine wwwbing.com. Si un internaute oublie le point entre www et le bing.com, il est alors dirig vers un cybersquatteur, en loccurrence le site de fans de Walter Will Wawrinka Bing o lon voyait encore il y a peu un gros Troll en illustration. Depuis larticle paru dans Techcrunch du 16 octobre, le troll modre ses propos et prcise que son site na bien entendu rien voir avec celui de Microsoft
wwwbing.com = Microsoft, nicht Google.
Oder: Wieso nichts ist, wie es scheint.
Noch vor wenigen Tagen sind Besucher unter der Adresse wwwbing.com bei google.com gelandet. Die Domain wwwbing.com gehrt nach einem Rechtsstreit* mittlerweile Microsoft. Der vorherige Besitzer hatte fr die Domain eine uerst originelle Begrndung:
I am using the domain wwwbing.com to promote a childrens book called Walter Will Wawrinka Bing. It involves a troll who has supernatural and magical powers in modern Scandinavia. It will be published on the 5th April 2010 in Ireland. I have every right to register a domain name to promote a book.
Neben der kreativen Begrndung verwunderte vor allem eines: Bis mindestens vergangenen Mittwoch, den 20. Januar war die Domain nach wie vor lediglich eine Weiterleitung zu google.com. Eine WHOIS-Abfrage jedenfalls besttigt, dass Microsoft tatschlich der aktuelle Besitzer dieser Domain ist. Mittlerweile erscheint unter wwwbing.com aber nur noch eine DNS-Fehlermeldung: Error! Could not locate remote server. Das Seltsame daran ist die WHOIS-Auskunft, dass die Site zuletzt am 20. Januar 2010 upgedatet wurde. Was aber nicht sein kann, weil sie zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch munter an google.com weiterleitete.
Auch downforeveryoneorjustme.com besttigt mittlerweile: Its not just you! http://wwwbing.com looks down from here. Wer nachtrglich prfen mchte, dass wwwbing.com tatschlich eine Weiterleitung an Google war, muss viel suchen. Selbst die Wayback Machine von Archive.org hilft nicht weiter. Doch bei DomainTools gibt es noch ein Screenshot einer Version vom 8. Januar 2010:
Auch der WHOIS-Service VWhois besttigt die Angaben von DomainTools, die Domain gehrt tatschlich Microsoft*. Solche Spe gab es nicht zum ersten Mal, auch www.ie7.com verlinkt auf einen anderen Inhalt, als man vermuten wrde. brigens ist die deutsche Domain wwwbing.de bislang leer, der Domaininhaber kommt aus China, der administrative Ansprechpartner aus Deutschland und der technische Ansprechpartner aus Luxemburg. Wir drfen gespannt sein.
Have you ever tried to get to Google and typed wwwgooogle.com instead of www.google.com? A lot of people make that mistake and, because of this, most companies own the version of their domain that includes the www without the first dot. In fact, if you clicked on that wwwgoogle.com link, youll notice that you just get forwarded to Google. Well, Microsoft made a really bad decision and didnt buy wwwbing.com and because of this oversight, a troll is now sitting on the domain literally. This is bad news for MSN, which has spent over $100M on marketing Bing. Some of that traffic is definitely going to the Walter Will Wawrinka Bing fan site and forgetting all about trying out the new MSN search engine. [TechCrunch]
wwwtwitter.com and wwwbing.com in particular were interesting because while wwwtwitter.com strangely points to techcrunch.com (owner is hidden behind a Godaddy privacy), wwwbing.com is currently sporting a website with the picture of a troll and text explaining that the domain name will be used to launch an upcoming childrens book called Walter Will Wawrinka Bing. Searches for the mythical character Walter Will Wawrinka Bing yield no results of value.
Patrick McAuliffe, the owner of wwwbing.com, also makes sure to point out that his website is in no way affiliated to www.bing.com Microsofts recently launched search engine.
Microsoft se apodera de 8 nombres de dominios en disputa
Microsoft acaba de ganar un caso de disputa de dominios con el que se ha apropiado de 8 nombres relacionados con su buscador: wwwbing.com, wwbing.com, wwwwbing.com, bingf.com,b8ng.com, b9ng.com, binfg.com, y binhg.com. Pero atencin, este es un caso peculiar, porque el demandado tena motivos reales y pruebas que deberan haber servido en su defensa.
El acusado y anterior dueo de dichos nombres de dominios era Patrick McAuliffe, a quien el Foro Nacional de Arbitraje (NAF) ha ordenado la transferencia de dichos nombres a manos del gigante Microsoft. Resulta obvio que la gran compaa norteamericana posea los derechos sobre las marcas que incluyen el nombre Bing, as que el resultado era de esperar. Sin embargo, no debemos olvidar que hace poco ya tuvieron problemas con el nombre de su marca con otra empresa, adems, esta vez el demandado ha aportado muy buenos argumentos en su defensa:
Microsoft lanz Bing.com el 28 de Mayo de 2009. Esto fue dos meses ms tarde de que yo registrara wwwbing.com, el 26 de Marzo de 2009. En aquel momento yo no era consciente de que wwwbing.com se parecera al buscador Bing.com. Utilizo el dominio wwwbing.com para promocionar un libro para nios llamado Walter Will Wawrinka Bing. Trata la historia de un troll que tiene poderes sobrenaturales y mgicos en la moderna Escandinavia. Se publicar el da 5 de Abril de 2010 en Irlanda. Tengo todo el derecho a registrar un nombre de dominio que promocione el libro. Patrick McAuliffe (Traduccin libre)
A pesar de todo, Microsoft aport pruebas de que el demandado quera vender el nombre del domnio al demandante y el jurado tom su decisin. Los ocho dominios sern transferidos inmediatamente a la gran compaa norteamericana. Cmo? Slo por el hecho de considerar vender el dominio ya hay derecho ha expropiarte un dominio libremente? Incluso cuando el dominio se registr antes que la marca? Incluso si utilizas el dominio sin malas intenciones ni relacin alguna con el demandante? A ver, si s que Microsoft est a punto de demandarme, yo tambin considerara venderle mi dominio, parece que es la nica forma de salir ganando. Yo no s vosotros, pero a mi todo esto me huele a chamusquina.

Complainant was founded in 1975 and has since manufactured, marketed and sold computer software and offered related products and services. Its business is enormous.
How does the second sentence matter? It seems rather comical and out of place.

It matters because there is an internet version of eminent domain if you're big enough.
permalinkparent
[]originalone 2 points 2 years ago
That is fucked up. Do these complainants even pay the people that bought those domains? I can see how if you are intentionally trying to confuse a person and steal the other company's business where that would be a problem, but there should be some attempt at paying the person for the domain they payed for. Doesn't eminent domain even require the government to pay market value for the house and/or property?

I'd say it matters because it makes it more likely that the guy has heard of said company and their plans for launching a specific website before and has registered the domain in bad faith.

A."CONFUSINGLY SIMILAR DOMAIN NAMES"
Microsoft launched bing.com on 28th May 2009. This was a full two months AFTER I registered wwwbing.com on on 26th march 2009. I was at that time unaware of wwwbing.com being similar to the search engine bing.com.
B."NO RIGHTS OR LEGITIMATE INTERESTS IN DOMAIN NAME"
I am using the domain wwwbing.com to promote a children's book called
"Walter Will Wawrinka Bing". It involves a troll who has supernatural
and magical powers in modern Scandinavia. It will be published on the
5th April 2010 in Ireland. I have every right to register a domain name to promote a book.
