And in the US... From: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/filter/index_experts3.html Senator Spencer Abraham last week introduced the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. In addition to cracking down on the bad faith registration of popular trademark names for domain names, the bill is intended, according to Abraham, to "protect consumers who make typographical errors and enter legitimate domain names and are instead directed to Internet sites containing pornography or other inappropriate material." Critics of the bill argue that existing trademark law already provides reasonable remedy for infringement and that, if passed, the bill would expand trademark law excessively - well beyond what we've seen in recent history.
