>>>I can probably safely state that PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) most likely lost their case. This is because there are no rights to url's. First person to register a new one wins. That's why some stars have multiple variations of their names as url's registered and others, who weren't as proactive are paying large sums of money to buy them off the people who did register them. This all started because of url's like
www.helenhunt.com ( a personal favorite actress of mine) connecting to a porn site and the actor/actress could do nothing about it.

>>You're right...but everyone has their price for the URL rights. The "real" PETA may have just bought them out...I sure wish I had thought of buying up some of those popular URLs years ago :)

I think this practice should be illegal. There are companies out there buying up every imaginable domain, just waiting for the person who really needs it to speak up, so they can screw 'em. I find the practice disgusting.
