in the states there actually is a procedure to get your
domain back but the cost for a small label to do that isnt
worth what yr usually asked to stump up to pay in terms of
costs & fees to everyone. not sure if the uk has a similar
law & even tho the net is international & a few cases have
tried to extend us law everywhere else (like the russian guy
who got arrested when he arrived in the states for the Adobe Acrobat
scenario) it's not clear whether or not this will extend to
other places or scenarios.
for example, i recently asked somebody from the PRS the Performing Rights
Society in the UK whether internet stations in the UK (like
http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra and
http://www.jazzfm.com etc)
were going to have to pay CARP rates and they said no because the
servers werent located in the States and they were already paying blanket
license fees for playing music online & on the air.
sorry for being late to jump in on this one, its been a hectic
september.
