In a Wipo action first reported by the domain bible, OK magazine, jenniferlopez.net and jenniferlopez.org were awarded to Mrs. Anthony.
The domains according to OK, will be used by the Jennifer Lopez Foundation, “which promotes better access to healthcare for women and children”.
Interesting quote:
The Respondent is listed as the current registrant of the disputed Domain Names and in the eNom’s WhoIs database, which further indicates that the disputed domain names were first registered in November 1999 and February 2000, respectively. The domain name was registered approximately five (5) months after the debut of Ms. Lopez first album, a commercial success which included several songs nominated for Grammy awards. The domain name was registered shortly after Ms. Lopez received these Grammy nominations in early 2000.
Archived web pages accessible at “www.archive.org”, commonly referred to as the Internet Archive, reflect the use of the disputed Domain Names with the Respondent’s website going back as far as 2001. A review of the Respondent’s current website and available archived webpages from the site reveals content consistent with a “fan site” regarding Ms. Lopez, but also reveals the presence of paid advertising under Google’s AdSense program (“Ads by Google”), other links to commercial websites, including one or more dating services, as well as links to sites displaying provocative photographs of other popular female actresses and performance artists.
After receiving the Complainant’s cease and desist letter providing the Respondent with notice of this dispute, the Respondent through his counsel initially offered to sell the disputed domain names to the Complainant for $80,000, and later for $45,000. By way of explaining this asking price, the Respondent indicated that the website to which the disputed Domain Names resolve had been developed as a source of income.

From what ACRO just posted…..it looks like the Respondent got some really bad lawyer advice.
Of course, this guys IS a squatter and should never have put paid ads up.
