Suck sites sucked away by WIPO

WIPO takes 80% of all (whatever)sucks domain names away from the owners and gives them to the protest-filing companies - so much for free speech on the net. But attorney Ed Harvilla came up with a solution: "Sucks" sites to be doled out for free.

'Harvilla and a group of silent partners are launching the Free Speech Center.Ӕ Harvilla has dozens of .com, .net, .org, and .info domain names than can be appended with a prefix known to technologists as the hostname of a URL ח to make a logical protest site destination. On the list: bizsucks.net, comsucks.net, edusucks.net, and orgprotest.org. So any company that didnt like HarvillaҒs site could create a site called FreeSpeechCenter.orgprotest.org.Ӕ'

One can only hope it catches on. We need to thin the ranks of the gruntled.
