Paris still running away from reverse domain hijacking claim

Paris' motto in domain disputes: fire an attack, then run away.

The city of Paris -- officially Ville de Paris -- apparently likes to lob attacks and then run away when it has to defend itself.

Back in 2009 the city filed a UDRP against Parvi.org. In another ridiculous decision handed down by panelist Andrew F. Christie, Paris won the UDRP despite the domain not likely being registered in bad faith.

So Parvi.org owner Jeffrey Walter sued Paris in Texas Court. When Paris submitted its UDRP complaint, it agreed to jurisdiction in Texas for lawsuits related to the domain because that's where the domain registrar for Parvis.org was located.

City of Paris ordered to pay $100k for reverse domain name hijacking

Paris guilty of reverse domain name hijacking, ordered to pay over $100,000.

A U.S. federal district court has ordered Ville de Paris (City of Paris) to pay $100,000 for reverse domain name hijacking and tortious interference.

Judge Melinda Harmon also ordered the city to pay $26,830 in attorney’s fees and costs.

The judgment stems from a UDRP the city of Paris filed against the owner of Parvi.org in 2009. In that case, panelist Andrew Christie decided to give the domain name to Paris despite determining that the domain name was not originally registered in bad faith
