RE: Action

Klonk.dk , Orango.dk and Eof.dk has until recently been owned by private individuals. In connection with complaints of "Complaints Board for Domain Names" , all three domains have been deprived the owners and given to businesses who believe that they are rightful owners of the domain.

I recently purchased a domain name - http://www.recitat.dk/ - and in doing so I got a brochure from DK Hostmaster , which says the following:

DIFO (Danish Internet Forum) and DK Hostmaster currently has three opportunities to intervene if a. Dkdomænenavn desired suspended. These are cases where there is:

• Apparent confusion and illegal business
• Revelation and illegal activities that pose a safety or societal risk
• Typosquatting, it will say error typing domain names that get visitors to their website because Internet users type a single letter wrong in relation to an existing domain name.

But in these cases, the domains have been registered before the companies existed. So, the private owners never acted in bad faith or intended to buy the domain for resale.

In " Act on Internet Domains Specifically Allocated to Denmark "states in § 12

Registrants must not register and use the internet domain names in violation of good domain name practice.
Paragraph. Second Registrants must not register and maintain registrations of Internet domain names solely for resale or rental purposes.

Basically it is a good rule to keep the domain parasites from the dish. How in the three cases can be interpreted against the owners I am wondering face. Registrant has some obligations related to payment and that the domain should be used. In all three cases, the domains have been used, among other private email.

Although DK Hostmaster according to item 1 of its General Terms provide that they "assign and register domain names under. Dk domain on a first come, first served" principle, so the Danish state owns the domain name. It is only on loan. If the Danish government subsequently consider that others may have more benefit of the domain name, it must then be transferred to him. That's what lovfortolkningen Board of Appeals provides for and thus can no longer secure in knowing whether they may use their domain active forever.

But what kind of a balance between individuals and or companies that true? What utilitarianism is the Danish government wants to be the guarantor for? And they will also apply the practice compared to telephone numbers, license plates, training, space reservations on the train, distribution of energy, etc. etc. in the "public interest"?

I read recently an article in News com, which is about that " China will not allow domains to private . "
In China it's about censorship. In Denmark it is about commercial interests. China's policy in relation to the internet is atrocious. In Denmark, I must note that we are far from the conditions prevailing on the dot-com domain. You must have met all of the following three elements to a complaint shall be executed:

• The Domain Name Is Identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in som har complainant rights;
• The registrant ikke garden eventuelle Rights or Legitimate Interests in the Domain Name; and
• The registrant registered the domain name and ice anvende it in "bad faith."

I am now aware that the Danish state owns the domains and that we only have them on loan. But I do not agree that commercial interests can be equated with societal interests and thus be more important than private interests.
