Abstract: When the Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts fought for
control of the domain name, what was her aim? Did she want to reap
economic benefits from the name? Probably not, as she has not used the
name since it was transferred to her. Or did she want to prevent others
from using it on either an unjust enrichment or a privacy basis? Was

has led to inconsistent and often arbitrary results. Additionally,
commentators have questioned recent expansions of trademark law in the

Gutierrez regarding possible changes to ICANN.

online auctions dedicated exclusively to the sale of more than 1000
attractive preregistered .ca domain names.
I think that I'll start with the end first. As I write this I'm winging my way across the Pacific Ocean after being thoroughly satisfied with a great business class meal on Qantas. It wasn't always this way though.....
