Bosh wins 800 domain names in court, promises free return

Chris Bosh has already earned a victory this year, and the National Basketball Association’s season hasn’t even started yet.

The all-star forward was awarded custody of 800 domain names in court, and is now offering to return them to their rightful owners for free.
Judge Florence-Marie Cooper made the decision to entrust the domain names belonging to professional athletes and celebrities to Bosh on Sept. 24. The court order was carried out Tuesday.
“I am thrilled that I am able to offer the return of these domain names to a host of other athletes and celebrities whose names were cybersquatted,” Bosh said in a statement Wednesday. “I will offer the return of the domain names free of charge.”
Bosh won a $120,000 US award in April 2009 for the violation of his rights under the U.S. Federal Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act in a California federal court.
