Blues Fight for MoodyBlues.com — The Moody

Aging rock group wants .com equivalent of existing domain name.

Moody BluesEnglish rock group The Moody Blues have asked a World Intellectual Property Forum panel to give it the domain name MoodyBlues.com.

The group’s official web site is MoodyBlues.co.uk. It has sold over 70 million albums worldwide since forming in the 1960s.

Some of the aging group’s more popular songs are Nights in White Satin and Ride my See-Saw.

MoodyBlues.com was registered way back in 1999, which makes you wonder ‘what the heck took these guys so long?’ They’ve been actively touring for the last a number of years.

MoodyBlues.com right now doesn’t resolve. TheMoodyBlues.com forwards to a celebrities web site.
