Interesting cases.
As a domain name investor, I have owned some celebrities domain names and built related sites around them. But if the celebrities want them back, I will gladly give them up.

Thanks for the Meg Whitman update Andrew! Memo to self: “When I recover my own name domain from prior owner, I will put MY name as registrant.” (not my exec. assistant who might up and leave me for any number of reasons..)

Patrick – yes it was passed. However, it was only for people who registered a politician’s name with the intent of selling it to them.

Andrew,

for whatever it’s worth you had written a column for CircleID on May 24, 2006
entitled: “New York Passing New Domain Name Law”.

Any idea if this law was passed?
