His best bet is to dispute the domains with WIPO or ICANN.

So Steve I wouldn't get all worked up, it's a problem we all deal with and the actual damages on the average domain (example: jorda-capri-sex-pics.com) is not gonna be much.

I bet you lose a lot more revenue to Zango than all the combined jordan capri domains out there.

WIPO is for lamers.

If Steve really wants to grab the cybersquatters by the shorties, he will bypass WIPO and go straight to Federal court.

Sue for ACPA statutory damages of $100,000 and legal fees. And get the infringers to disgorge profits.

Sure, the cost is a little more. Do you think Steve has the cash to turn up the heat like this? What do you think?
