Insane: France Seizes Geographic Domain Name France.com with Help from Web.com

NEW YORK – An unprecedented theft has occurred in the domain space as the European Country of France has stolen the Internet domain name France.com from its owner, who according to a lawsuit filed this month in California “has lawfully owned and used the domain name in commerce since 1994.”

Although Networks Solutions (Web.com) is not party to the lawsuit, it seems they would be guilty of gross misconduct in my opinion and should also be sued for transferring the domain name, intellectual property of a United States citizen, to a foreign county without notice to its registrant.

Read the entire lawsuit here.

    I don’t know but having your names at uniregistry or in cayman islands is a better bet. This will scare everyone and anyone who has domains with network solutions or web.com.

    In the case of deutschland.de there was a precendent in the year 2000: https://www.rechtsanwaltmoebius.de/urteil/deutschland.htm or http://www.jurpc.de/jurpc/show?id=20000211 .
    Deutschland.de was taken away from it’s owner / registrant because of superior name rights as “Juristische Person” of the “Bundesrepublik Deutschland”.
