I suggest the guy take them the Courts under the ACPA.
Some of these Panelists should be sent back to college or somewhere else appropriate for them.

Anyone registerd FISHING.NET ? You have? Watch out, someone might claim your Net is theirs... A very, very fishy business indeed really.
What a load of crap in recent UDRP Decisions. Where on earth is an Appeals or Review Procedure within the so-called Arbitration system? No where. Why? Because it doesn't suit trademark holders. They don't want decisions overturned or reversed. They like it the way it is. Unfair.

The .biz startup decisions that hand over generic words to trademark owners keep on coming... the latest gives about.biz to the owner of about.com. So why have new TLDs at all if they're just gonna do this?

True, PAINT.BIZ is one of the worst for unfairly transferring a clearly generic name simply because of it's domain extension; however, AIM5.COM is a far more blatant decision, as virtually of the Panel's reasoning is either factually incorrect, grossly assumptive, flawed, unfair or biased (this is clearly seen at http://www.ad2000d.com/ )

That story is full of holes. If you claim that register.com was unregistered, then what address did you go to to register it via register.com? If the domain was truly unregistered, that address would not have worked. More likely there was just a bug in their software and it was showing domains as available when they really weren't, so if you had actually completed the transaction you still wouldn't have ended up in control of the domain. Anyway, even if you did manage to change register.com, it wouldn't have "crashed the internet"... they're just one of a whole bunch of registrars, and aren't essential to the infrastructure of the net.
