What to do against domain grabber?

["Malte S. Stretz" <ms...@gmx.net>]

Hi guys,

somebody on the recent slashdot story pointed out [1] that the domain 
spamassasin.org leads the people to one of those nasty Google ad farms.

At least according to German law would that AFAIK be a violation of our 
trademark. (At least do I remember some typo-cases which were won by Amazon 
and eBay, not to speak of the ridiculous T-cases.) Can we do anything 
against this?

Oh some other ones:
 spamasassin.org  -> spamcop.com :-(
 spamassassin.com -> inboxcop.com
 spamassassin.net -> some place holder page which is there since 2002

Cheers,
Malte

That's a nasty one.

IANAL, and would not want to be mistaken for one, but this article holds 
out some hope for remedy under US law:

"Domain Name with Intentional Misspelling of a Trademark Violates 
Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act"
