  • XYZ Defeats .COM in “David Vs. Goliath” Lawsuit XYZ Wins Lawsuit Against Verisign in Summary Judgment
    Contact: Shayan Rostam Global Director of Registry Operations, .xyz [email protected] .XYZ Defeats .COM in “David vs. Goliath” Lawsuit XYZ Wins Lawsuit against Verisign in Summary Judgment Los Angeles, CA -- On October 26, 2015, XYZ, the registry operator behind .xyz - the world’s most popular new domain extension - announced the company had defeated Verisign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN) in a lawsuit dating back to December 2014. By granting XYZ a victory on summary judgment, the court found that XYZ won the case as a matter of law because there were no triable issues for a jury. The trial was originally scheduled to begin on November 2, 2015. Verisign, best known for operating .com and .net, alleged that XYZ lied when it published the registration numbers reflecting its tremendous growth and made statements about registrants having a hard time finding good .com domain names. Many believed the lawsuit was a classic example of “David vs. Goliath,” with the industry incumbent attempting to litigate new competition out of business. XYZ states that it knew Verisign’s claims were not legitimate and had no choice but to defend itself. Although legal bills were in the seven-figure range, XYZ made a stand for every startup and small business that is bullied by large, established companies. “At the time the lawsuit was filed, .xyz had only been globally available for 6 months. We were shocked that an industry-giant would file such claims against my small business. I also took it as a compliment,” said XYZ’s CEO and Founder Daniel Negari. According to XYZ’s General Counsel, Grant Carpenter, “these tactics appear to be part of a coordinated anti-competitive scheme by Verisign to stunt competition and maintain its competitive advantage in the industry.” In line with the purpose of ICANN’s gTLD program, the mission of .xyz is to provide internet users with competition and choice when selecting a domain name.

  • Which Internet Registries Offer the Best Protection for Domain Owners?
    Which Internet registries offer the best protection for domain owners? Jeremy Malcolm, Senior Global Policy Analyst, EFF Gus Rossi, Global Policy Director, Public Knowledge Mitch Stoltz, Senior Staff Attorney, EFF July 27, 2017 ELECTRONIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE 1 In the Internet’s early days, those wishing to register their own domain name had only a few choices of top-level domain to choose from, such as .com, .net, or .org. Today, users, innovators, and companies can get creative and choose from more than a thousand top-level domains, such as .cool, .deals, and .fun. But should they? It turns out that not every top-level domain is created equal when it comes to protecting the domain holder’s rights. Depending on where you register your domain, a rival, troll, or officious regulator who doesn’t like what you’re doing with it could wrongly take it away, or could unmask your identity as its owner—even if they are from overseas. To help make it easier to sort the .best top-level domains from the .rest, EFF and Public Knowledge have gotten together to provide this guide to inform you about your choices. There’s no one best choice, since not every domain faces the same challenges. But with the right information in hand, you’ll be able to make the choice that makes sense for you. Before proceeding it’s worth noting the difference between a registry and a registrar. The domain registry is like a wholesaler, who operates an entire top-level domain (TLD) such as .com.
