The courts are much more comon-sensical in these matters than the UDRP forums. Steady over-reaching by well intentioned but misguided panelists is leading many name owners to say 'no mas' and bypass the UDRP for the courts. If the folks at WIPO and Arb Forum aren't swallowing hard after reading this, they don't see the handwriting on the wall. This is a huge potential problem for the UDRP process.

I still don't see why not let the UDRP play out first. It costs you little or nothing if you are the respondent. If you lose the UDRP then take it to court right? Sure in a real court there are other consequences possible, so be sure you are right before taking that leap. Is perhaps the UDRP process becoming obsolete?

By not going to court, the worst that can happen is you lose the domain. Does anyone else want to weigh in on this kind of dilemma? @Johnny – Do you realize that by filing suit, you open yourself to risking a counterclaim of ACPA which puts you at risk of paying $100,000 plus their attorney fees?

In this case, Tucows was both so it was easy. Make sure your registrar is in a jurisdiction that's easy to file in...

I almost lost domain property worth over $500,000 in my UDRP case. I should have just filed down at my court house and bypassed that bogus UDRP panel that "judged" my domain registration and use.
