REVIEWS
Jim
Moran,
Webreviewer.com, Chicago, Illinois (July 2000)
This
is the most comprehensive resource for domain name
dispute case studies to date. Ellen Rony and Peter
Rony do a masterful job of exposing the many pitfalls
that could spell disaster for anyone wishing to set up
shop online today. This 650-page book is packed with
extensive information about many of the legal
challenges that have been waged over the registration
and use of domain names, including alleged copyright
violations, trademark infringement, and actual court
cases.
Himy
Syed, Toronto, Canada (May 2000)
A
powerful book on the historiography of the world wide
web. The Domain Name Handbook is an enlightning
introduction to the subject of the Domain Naming
System's liberation from a single organisation to a
world of domain name competition and a biting
indictment of the current flip-flop on the important
question of expanding the domain name space.
Bill
Henson, retired ATT (August 1999)
I
am thoroughly enjoying your book. It is a wealth
of information not found between any other two covers.
I was especially intrigued at how thorough Procter
& Gamble was at gleaning all possible Domain Names
that had anything to do with anything. I wonder how
they missed Procterandsurething.com. Keep
writing.

Easy-to-read
overview of a complicated area. As a lawyer who
practices trademark law on the Internet, including
domain name issues, I was very happy to see this book
explore complicated areas like Internet governance,
domain numbers and names, and trademark issues, all in
an informative and easy-to-read style that does not
talk down to the reader.
Carl
Oppedahl
of Oppedahl and Larson, Frisco, Colorado (July
1998)
An
excellent, important book. The Domain Name
Handbook provides comprehensive information about
Internet domain names. It gives in-depth accounts of
many domain name disputes, including analyses of the
harms caused by the trademark domain name policies of
Network Solutions, Inc.
Ron
Burk,
"Books in Brief," Windows Developer's Journal (October
1998)
Much
of the book is about the politics of domain names,
but, for better or worse, those politics are going to
affect your current and future domain name decisions,
so its worth having at least a passing familiarity
with what's happening. Finally, the book is a fairly
painless way to get a high-level grasp of the basic
mechanisms of the Web: domain name system (DNS), IP
addresses, and so on.
Jane
of YNotNetwork (October 8, 1998)
"This
book is worth reading for the test cases
alone.
You'll find out about some of the creative solutions
that have been tried... such as registering trademarks
in Tunisia, which takes only 1 day and a few hundred
dollars. You'll find out how InterNIC's policies have
been taken on legally. You'll find out how you are
vulnerable. You'll also find out how the courts are
attempting to level the playing field between big
business and the "little guy". This really is a
must-read for anyone who values their domain and
doesn't want to give it up at the first sign of a
lawsuit. "
