<br>
Ownership of "debian.community" domain

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="

<br> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
<br>
<br>
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), under its
Uniform
<br>
Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP), decided that
ownership of
<br>
the "debian.community" [1] domain should be transferred to the
Debian
<br>
Project [2].
<br>
<br>

https://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/search/case.jsp?case=D2022-1524">https://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/search/case.jsp?case=D2022-1524</a>
<br>
<br>
The appointed panel found that "the disputed domain name is
identical to
<br>
a trademark in which the Complainant has rights."
<br>
<br>
In its decision the panel noted: <br>
<br>
"[...] the disputed domain name is
<br>
identical to the DEBIAN mark, which carries a high risk of implied
<br>
affiliation with the Complainant. [...] Given that the Complainant
<br>
prominently describes Debian on its homepage as a 'community' and
not
<br>
just an operating system, [the.community] suffix actually
reinforces
<br>
that the disputed domain name will resolve to a site operated or
<br>
endorsed by [Debian]. The disputed domain name contains no
critical or
<br>
other terms to dispel or qualify that false impression." <br>
</span>
<p><span style="font-family:monospace">The panel went on to observe:
<br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:monospace">"The evidence submitted by
the Complainant shows that some posts present the <br>
DEBIAN mark together with information about a notorious sex
cult, notorious sex <br>
offenders, and enslavement of women, and one post displays
photographs of <br>
physical branding allegedly on victims’ genital skin. The segues
from <br>
information about the Complainant to this type of information
are contrived and <br>
the scale of this information is not merely incidental on the
website. In the <br>
Panel’s view, these posts are deliberately intended to create a
false <br>
association between the DEBIAN trademark and offensive phenomena
and thereby <br>
tarnish the mark."<br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:monospace"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:monospace">
and further concluded that: <br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:monospace">"nothing in the Debian Social
Contract or elsewhere indicates that the <br>
Complainant has ever consented to the type of false associations
with its mark <br>
published by the respondent on its website. The Respondent
points out that the <br>
DEBIAN mark is registered only in respect of software. However,
while the <br>
relevant posts attack members of the Complainant who make
available DEBIAN <br>
software, rather than the software itself, these posts use the
mark in <br>
combination with the disputed domain name in a way that
intentionally seeks to <br>
create false associations with the mark itself. "<br>
</span><span style="font-family:monospace"></span></p>
<span style="font-family:monospace">Debian is committed to the
proper use of its trademarks subject to its
<br>
trademark policy [3] and will continue to take enforcement action
when
<br>
that policy is violated.<br>
