A complaint was just filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) on the domain name Vanity.com.

Beyond the fact that an undisclosed complainant is trying to take away a dictionary word domain, the even more shocking part is that the domain name is not parked, not inactive but a fully developed site owned by a company named Vanity.com, Inc.

The site has a members area and has sections for Fashion, Beauty, Cosmetic Surgery, well all things about vanity.

The case number is 1443435.

The complainant is not yet listed.

The word Vanity has  27,900,000 results on Google so it’s an often used word.

The UDRP is well out of control now, where those wanting to acquire a domain name that is unavailable due to use or price, are now taking a risk free shot at grabbing the domain name from its lawful owner.

We need UDRP reform and we need it now.

Moniker^® and SnapNames^®, announced today that they will exclusively broker the domain name ‘FreeSex.com.

Furthermore, this premium domain name will be available for online bids in the Moniker and SnapNames Premium International & ccTLD Domain Name Auction starting June 21 and ending July 19, 2012 at 3:15 p.m. Eastern.

“Given this domain’s usage of the popular keywords ‘Free’ and ‘Sex’, this highly-recognizable asset will provide the buyer with a means to reach a broad and international online audience in a relevant and targeted manner.”

“As evidenced from the $13 million USD selling price of ‘Sex.com’ in late 2010, ‘Porn.com’ for $9.5 million USD in 2007 and ‘FreePorn.com’ for $4 million USD in 2008, the market demand for rare premium adult names is strong – although seldom available for sale in an open market forum.”

“We are pleased to announce the selection of Moniker as the exclusive brokerage firm for ‘FreeSex.com’,” said the current owners. “This decision was based on their track record and ability to reach qualified buyers globally. We look forward to offering this valuable domain name to the market in partnership with Moniker and SnapNames the premium domain name brokerage and auction house.”
