Guntree v Gumtree: Nominet orders gun ads site must lose domain

Re: Pick a fight with eBay??

I still think it's a bad decision, even after all the hate. Here's a chance to downvote some more, lawyer-lovers.

Yes, it would be ironic if GUM (which translates to State General Store), using this case as precedent, got gumtree to vacate its domain. GUMtree could actually mean something in Russian (GUM three), which would strengthen the Russians' putative (see what I did there?) case. IANAL, but it strikes me that the Russians' case, had it been launched in a timely manner, is stronger than the one that is the subject of this article.
