Apple Files Claim for iPhone 5 Domain Name

[Rattengesicht]

[citation][nom]testerguy[/nom].com is american, therefore ownership of dot coms is determined by US courts regardless of where the owner originates.[/citation]

.com is not american. It is just currently maintained by an US company. Regarding ownership: Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy.

I would imagine they just got the domain name to profit off of when the iPhone 5 came out. That being said, good for them. Apple, just pay them off rather than creating more negative publicity. Or, better yet, create some positive publicity by offering the owner(s) a brand new shiny iphone5 a day before release in exchange for the domain name.

FYI, iphone37 is the next numerically available iphone site if anyone is interested.
