Globe Media guilty for Reverse Domain Name Hijacking

A Canadian business,Globe Media International Corp,was found guilty of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking by CIRA,for trying to take the domain name ForSale.ca away from its owner,Bonfire Development.

Bonfire Development is a domain name acquisition company from Calgary,Alberta.
The domain name was registered by Tom Brown.Of course ,Globe Media approached Tom Brown with an offer which he denied,in the end sellling the domain name to Bonfire Development for $29,900 on January12,2009.
Knowing that ,Globe Media sent an email to Bonfire Developmentciting its "www.for-sale.ca" trademark and offering to buy the domain name for $5000.In the end they filled with the CIRA for a Domain Name Resolution.
Although Globe Media owns a similar trademark they couldn't prove that Bonfire Development registered the domain name in bad faith.
So,for all that Bonfire Development asked the panel to make a finding of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking.
