To summarize, Gideon...er, Mr Jacques' defense (the owner of jacquesweb.com) was that "(Mattel?s) United States trademark registrations are irrelevant because Respondent is a Canadian resident. Respondent further argues that the BARBIE mark is generic."
Typical Gallbladder style to believe he can pick and choose which laws to follow, and the attitude that he can decide that other people's trademarks and intellectual property are generic and use them to profit from however he wishes.
The arbitration panel ruled against Aaron Jacques and stripped him of his domain since they felt that he acted in bad faith and abused the popular children's toy brand trademark to drive traffic to porn sites.
Great corporate citizen.
I can see why companies like Akira Systems would want to be disassociated with such a lowlife, if it turns out to indeed be the same person.
Gideon still hasn't quite given us a straight answer about that either...well, at least he is finally getting the attention from the industry that he has so desperately craved for years.

The (National Arbitration Forum) Panel finds that Respondent?s (Aaron Jacque's) use of Complainant?s BARBIE mark to divert Internet users to an adult-oriented website does not constitute a bona fide offering of goods or services under Policy ¶ 4(c)(i), nor a legitimate noncommercial or fair use under Policy ¶ 4(c)(iii).
Yup, Gideon sure is a real expert on Fair Use.
I hope he didn't get a patent/trademark/copyright for posting in bold and in CAPS to emphasize his points.

IMO his employers are well shot of him.
