Wins back domain name rights — Falwell critic

Back in May I wrote regarding a court decision involving the domain Fallwell.com (see Falwell domain fight could have implications for free speech on internet). In May a court decided that Rev. Falwell ought to get the rights to the domain that the current owner was using to critize Falwell’s views.

Good news: an appeals court has reversed the lower court’s ruling on grounds that the domain wouldn’t be confused for Rev. Falwell’s actual site. You can read more regarding this at CNET.
