    Spike Lee Wins Back SpikeLee.com From a Porn Co.

    GENEVA - Movie director Spike Lee has won his cybersquatting case against a Philippines-based operator who misused the domain name, spikelee.com, to redirect surfers to a pornographic Web site, arbitrators ruled Friday.

    Lee filed the complaint against Mercedita Kyamko of the Philippines who registered the domain name in 1999, the World Intellectual Property Organization said.

    It forwards users to a pornographic Web site located at clubhongkong.com, and was registered in "bad faith," according to Canadian lawyer Edward Chiasson, the neutral arbitrator named by WIPO to rule on the dispute.

    Lee joins other entertainers, including Madonna , Celine Dion and Eminem who have won cases at the Geneva-based U.N. agency. The domain name is automatically transferred within 10 days unless the loser launches a court case challenging the decision.

                      Why ? He was probably redirecting all his domains there or something ...

                          Some cases, you can see why people have a point if they have a domain like

                          jacko.com and say michael jackson wanted it

                          But taking someones name so blatantly is bound to leave you screwed

                              I think the images on Club Hong Kong are all stolen, too. I think one of them is from an old e-mail collection box from years ago, Naughty Mail, maybe.

                                      Anyone know if Mars, makers of M & Ms, ever tried to prevent Eminem from using that name?

                                          Why would anyone send the traffic to a porn site if they owned that domain anwyays? You'd have to figure that having some kind of Spike Lee related ebay ads, or amazon ads would be more effective. Or selling advertising to big collectable websites and shit like that.

                                                  Spike Lee is a fighter. He won a settlement from Spike TV a while back. They actually had to stop calling themselves Spike TV for a while, but eventually paid an undisclosed amount to continue using it.
