The Moody Blues Fight for MoodyBlues.com

Monday, February 21st, 2011

Aging rock group wants .com equivalent of existing domain name.

Moody BluesEnglish rock group The Moody Blues have asked a World Intellectual Property Forum panel to give it the domain name MoodyBlues.com.

The group’s official web site is MoodyBlues.co.uk. It has sold over 70 million albums worldwide since forming in the 1960s.

Some of the aging group’s more popular songs are Nights in White Satin and Ride my See-Saw.

MoodyBlues.com was registered way back in 1999, which makes you wonder ‘what the heck took these guys so long?’ They’ve been actively touring for the last several years.

MoodyBlues.com currently doesn’t resolve. TheMoodyBlues.com forwards to a celebrities web site.

    @Andrew
    LOL “Aging rock group”? Reminds of that part in the movie Spinal Tap where the band got upset when a radio DJ described them the same way :)

    @David They are in the where are they at files. Spinal Tap is a movie that hits home with every musician.It would be funny if someone did a domain doc Tap style.I always hated the Moody Blues anyway except for Nights in White Satin and that gets on my nerves too.K

    I don’t know why you didn’t wait til
    Tuesday afternoon to announce this?

    You ‘question’ what took so long?
    They figured they were just singers
    in a rock & roll band.

    Nothing changes !!!
    :)

    Justin Hayward still dyes his hair blond, and still sings, plays and looks great. Too bad their business savvy has never kept pace with their superior musicianship. I find it rather pathetic that they’re just NOW getting round to “fighting” for the perfect website name when they should have just bought it right away when the Internet was launched, or at least bought it from whoever bought it first. It would probably still be cheaper than paying barristers to “fight” for them. I love the Moody Blues but one of the members is notoriously cheap.

    Created 12 years ago? They should be refused
    as in most countries there is such a thing as
    statue of limitations.

    Guess MoodyBlues.com’s got them in a blue mood. ;-)

    The Moody Blues are my favorite group of all time! Number two is ELO and three is Queen. I guess you can tell by my prefs I have grey hair also :~D
