Benjamin Cohen, owner of the disputed domain name iTunes.co.uk, is appealing the recent decision by the British registrar Nominet to hand the domain over to Apple.
Nominet seems to have made the right decision, though:
The domain name, in the hands of the respondent [Cohen], is an abusive registration on the grounds of its use in a manner taking unfair advantage of, and being unfairly detrimental to, the rights of the complainant.
Here’s hoping the High Court upholds the decision. I don’t care if you registered the domain name in 1992 — if you’re cyber-squatting on it, don’t go whining to mommy when someone calls you on it and it gets taken away.
