Nintendo Squats On Squatters
Steve Gibson

Here's one that is pretty impressive. Nintendo just won a massive domain "cyber squatter" award for 49 different domain names that were snatched up by unnamed parties. In addition to the domains they got $560,000 in damages ranging from $2,000 to $30,000 for different domains.

The mass domain suit marked the company's first under the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. Richard C. Flamm, vice president and general counsel to Nintendo of America declared, "Nintendo is pleased the court recognized the company's intellectual property rights and understood the damages that are caused by cybersquatting."

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.
