He’s back: Guy sues domain “kingpins” following being “quashed by the cartel”

Landcruise guy is back with a fresh lawsuit.

Pro Se plaintiff litigant Graham Schreiber is at it again, suing* a bunch of people and firms over some alleged sleight regarding domain names.

What that sleight is, I can’t quite understand even following reading his lawsuit. Something regarding kingpins and a cartel.

Schreiber, sued ICANN, CentralNic and a handful of other firms back in 2012 following someone registered a third level domain under .uk.com that he stated infringed his trademark.

Since then, Schreiber has frequently posted on social media and comments on this blog regarding his grievances. Just the prior week, he left a comment on Reglike saying that USMCA (the fresh trade agreement that replaces NAFTA) gives Canadian courts jurisdiction over many entities and people. (Schreiber lives in Canada.)

The list of defendants includes 34 people that are apparently part of ICANN’s Intellectual Property Constituency, 21 people connected to registrars and registries, a bunch of government folks, and—why not?—Google, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

Schreiber is demanding $5 million from each defendant and wants a bunch of .com domains owned by CentralNic.

While I don’t understand the nature of the lawsuit, I’m sure Schreiber can explain the issue and how it impacts the “World.Wide.Web of .COMmerce” in the comments here.

* It’s not clear if the lawsuit has been filed in court.
