Do they even broadcast in Spain? They have owned cnn.com.es for years, but there is no archive record of it ever being used.

Do they even broadcast in Spain?

However you write that "provided the domain name was registered with something other than the company CNN in mind, and this can be substantiated, then the registrant should be fine." But surely it is not required that the registrant has to prove good faith intent; rather that the complainant has to prove bad faith intent? David

You have to look at all of the facts. If the registrant is using the domain name for a fair activity and has a legitimate interest in the domain name then they will not lose the domain name to CNN, even if CNN is a big company and even if it has a registered trade mark "CNN". CNN could indeed mean many things, and provided the domain name was registered with something other than the company CNN in mind, and this can be substantiated, then the registrant should be fine. But if the registrant thought, ah CNN.ES is available, and that big company CNN will pay me lots of money for it so I will register it... then this is just a form of hopeful extortion and the registrant may have an uphill battle. The fact that the domain name here is not being used is always a shame as that is just dead space on the Internet when it could be used by someone.

CNN = Could mean many many things. Why cnn.com thinks is their right to own cnn.es. I hate to see this big company trying to get everything just because they feel like.
