Big guys usually win best addresses
Arbitrators favor copyright holders
It definitely doesn't hurt to be a multinational corporation. You get
gobs of cash to throw around, Congress caters to your every whim--"A
tax break? Sure! We'll call it economic stimulus!"--and you gain
instant credibility in whatever market you choose to enter.

ERESOLUTION DROPS OUT AS ICANN UDRP PROVIDER
EResolution announced on Friday that is no longer accepting
new ICANN UDRP cases.  The company cites lack of business
due to forum shopping and bias concerns for the move.  The
news is very troubling since it shows the anticompetitive
effects of forum shopping -- allow complainants to pick
their provider and you end up with less competition because
everyone moves toward the one or two providers that give the
best chance of winning.  Moreover, of even greater concern,
is that it would seem that a large group of expert panelists
will no longer be available for any cases, eRes or
otherwise.  Company release at
