Lady Gaga Fails to Obtain Transfer of 'Fan Site' Domain Name International
Lady Gaga fails to obtain transfer of ‘fan site’ domain name Cybersquatting International - Hogan Lovells November 09 2011 In Germanotta v oranges arecool XD (Claim No FA1108001403808), singer Stefani Germanotta, known as Lady Gaga, has lost her bid to gain control of the domain name ‘ladygaga.org’ on the basis that it was pointing towards a non-commercial fan website. The case was brought under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and filed with the National Arbitration Forum (NAF), based in Minneapolis, United States. The respondent was listed as oranges arecool XD. To be successful in a UDRP procedure, a complainant must evidence that: l the domain name is identical, or confusingly similar, to a trademark or service mark in which it has rights; l the respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and l the domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith. Gaga had no problem in proving the first requirement, as she had registered three federal LADY GAGA trademarks with the US Patent and Trademark Office in various classes. However, the three-member panel found that Gaga had not established that the respondent had no rights or legitimate interests under the second requirement. Given that the three requirements are cumulative, the complaint failed, and it was not necessary for the panel to consider the last requirement in relation to bad faith. The respondent asserted that she was operating a genuine non-commercial fan website at the domain name ‘ladygaga.org’, which contained no commercial links and included a prominent disclaimer, as follows: "Ladygaga.Org is just a unprofitable unofficial fansite, we do not get money from it. -

Announce Your Wedding Online to Friends and Family with a Wedding Website
Announce Your Wedding Online to Friends and Family with a Wedding Website Posted by TBN On 04/10/2012 Wedding planning seems to go on for months and months, but that final moment when it all comes together seems to be over within just the blink of an eye. One way to simplify your wedding planning is to create your own wedding website. A wedding website enables you to capture RSVP emails, make announcements about the wedding to friends and relatives, and more. What is a Wedding Website? A wedding website is your own Web URL or a certain amount of space hosted on another's website that announces your wedding and includes some information that possible guests would want to know. The website is dedicated solely to your wedding. It's a great way to let those nearby or abroad know about your wedding date and details, who will be in the wedding, and what to expect. The wedding website may contain photos of the bride and groom with special captions to explain each photo, the bride's and groom's names, the wedding date, an optional wedding song lyric, and a listing of the bride and groom parties. You can also post personal information about how you met, how the groom proposed, and who you are now. The website may also have a guestbook for visitors to leave comments for you. You can even list links to your bridal registries to make gift giving easy. Your Own Web Space versus Using Space on Another Site If you don't mind paying monthly fees for your own domain name and web hosting, you can get your own wedding website and hire a designer or design it on your own if you have the know-how. -

Appendix a the Ten Commandments for Websites
Appendix A The Ten Commandments for Websites Welcome to the appendixes! At this stage in your learning, you should have all the basic skills you require to build a high-quality website with insightful consideration given to aspects such as accessibility, search engine optimization, usability, and all the other concepts that web designers and developers think about on a daily basis. Hopefully with all the different elements covered in this book, you now have a solid understanding as to what goes into building a website (much more than code!). The main thing you should take from this book is that you don’t need to be an expert at everything but ensuring that you take the time to notice what’s out there and deciding what will best help your site are among the most important elements of the process. As you leave this book and go on to updating your website over time and perhaps learning new skills, always remember to be brave, take risks (through trial and error), and never feel that things are getting too hard. If you choose to learn skills that were only briefly mentioned in this book, like scripting, or to get involved in using content management systems and web software, go at a pace that you feel comfortable with. With that in mind, let’s go over the 10 most important messages I would personally recommend. After that, I’ll give you some useful resources like important websites for people learning to create for the Internet and handy software. Advice is something many professional designers and developers give out in spades after learning some harsh lessons from what their own bitter experiences. -
