Using the theory of property, Komaitis discusses domain names as sui generis 'e-property' rights and analyses the experience of the past ten years, through the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA). The institutional deficit he identifies, generates a further discussion on the ethical dimensions in the regulation of domain names and prompts Komaitis to suggest the creation of an environment based on justice. The relationship between trademarks and domain names has always been contentious and the existing institutions of the UDRP and ACPA have not assisted in alleviating the tension between the two identifiers. Over the past ten years, the trademark community has been systematic in encouraging and promoting a culture that indiscriminately considers domain names as secondclass citizens, suggesting that trademark rights should have priority over the registration in the domain name space. Komaitis disputes this assertion and brings to light the injustices and the trademark-oriented nature of the UDRP and ACPA. He queries what the appropriate legal source to protect registrants when not seeking to promote trademark interests is. He also delineates a legal hypothesis on their nature as well as the steps of their institutionalisation process that we need to reverse, seeking to create a just framework for the regulation of domain names. Finally he explores how the current policies contribute to the philosophy of domain names as second-class citizens. With these questions in mind, Komaitis suggests some recommendations concerning the reconfiguration of the regulation of domain names. 000027809 650_0 $$aCopyright. 000027809 650_0 $$aTrademarks. 000027809 650_4 $$aElectronic books. -- local 000027809 650_4 $$aInternet domain names -- Law and legislation 000027809 650_4 $$aTrademarks -- Law and legislation 000027809 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000027809 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKomaitis, Konstantinos$$tThe Current State of Domain Name Regulation : Domain Names as Second Class Citizens in a Mark-Dominated World$$dFlorence : Taylor and Francis,c2010$$z9780415477765 000027809 830_0 $$aRoutledge Research in Information Technology and E-Commerce Law. 000027809 85640 $$uhttp://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/wipo/detail.action?docID=537891$$yView Ebook 000027809 904__ $$aBook 000027809 942__ $$cEBOOK 000027809 980__ $$aBIB 000027809 980__ $$aEBL_old 000027809 980__ $$aOS 000027809 999__ $$c30324$$d30324
