Copeland loses fight against criticism site — Televangelist Kenneth

Arbitration panel determines KennethCopelandBlog.com can remain with current owner.

Televangelist Kenneth Copeland has lost a domain name dispute with KennethCopelandBlog.com, a criticism site.

Kenneth Copeland is a televangelist who preaches the so-called prosperity gospel. The message is that the more money people give to the church, the more they’ll get out of God. (A beautiful business model if you ask me.)

The critical site is maintained Rich Vermillion, who used to work with Kenneth Copeland Ministries. He’s asking the Copelands to repent.

The panelist in the case ruled that Vermillion has rights or legitimate interests in the domain name since he’s using it for criticism and not for personal profit.

This case has given me an idea for a fresh business model: you can now donate to Reglike. The more money you donate, I promise the more money you’ll start earning from your domain portfolio.
