Domain Name Dispute is a well known Argument because there are a lot of companies/corporate that are having a Domain Name Dispute. I strongly believe that Cyberspace is not to much secure because any-buddy can buy any-name similar to a highly successful firm on cyberspace but it doesn't allow anyone to use others trademark and its a dispute for them not for any Ethical firm or corporate.
Hope i am able to share some knowledge. Regards AS

Editor's Notes
Yahoo Inc. (The Plaintiff) vs Aakash Arora & Anc. , Here the Court Observed that “it was an effort to trade on the fame of yahoo’s trademark.”
Suing someone for domain name theft is a duty more so because consumer are the ultimate victims.
If an original brand owner does not take steps to prevent the sale of false goods through a domain name that is similar to his/her trademark but is bought and operated by someone else, he is contributing in a way towards the exploitation of consumers.
