Debian.community Domain Name Seized (lwn.net)

The Debian project, Debian.ch, and Software in the Public Interest recently filed a WIPO action to take control of the "debian.community" domain name, which has been used by Daniel Pocock to attack the Debian project and its members. Red Hat had made a similar attempt to take control of WeMakeFedora.org earlier this year, but that attempt failed. The Debian action succeeded, though; on July 19, WIPO decided in favor of the action and ordered the domain name transferred. That domain name can no longer be used, but the attacks seem certain to continue.
