I have dealt with Cyber Squatters in the past and it is not a fun situation. I am glad Disney won this case cause I know I have misspelled Disney countless times only to be taken someplace else.

Disney Enterprises,the largest media and entertainment conglomerate in the world has recently won another domain name case,covering two domain names : diseny.com and dsiney.com .

The company,represented by J. Andrew Coombs,submitted a complaint to the National Arbitration Forum,requesting the domain names diseny.com and dsiney.com  to be transferred from the respondent to the complainant.
The company owns many trademark registrations with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for “Disney” mark.
Therefore,they contended in the complaint that the domain names are confusingly similar to its trademark.
Moreover,they contended that the respondent , JalapenoWare LLC, registered and used the domain names in bad faith.”…by registering the disputed domain names with actual knowledge of Complainant’s trademarks, Respondent acted in bad faith by breaching its registration agreement with the registrar because it falsely represented that the registration does not conflict with the “legal rights of a third party or a third party’s trademark or trade name.”
