Video Description
The Year to Stop Domain Name Theft is an anniversary dedicated to alerting and engaging media, law makers and law enforcement about this novel and flourishing form of business theft and cybercrime - including its devastating consequences to victims both companies and individuals. Swift criminal arrest and prosecution of domain thieves is needed. First criminal conviction in U.S. of domain theft occurred on July 22, 2011. The conviction has provided victims and criminal justice system a precedent and foundation to act upon. Domain theft also often includes stolen websites, stolen emails and cybersquatting.
“In our effort to redress the injuries inflicted on us we came to appreciate how undeveloped this area of the law is, and how victims of domain theft face an unmarked and totally uphill battle to get a remedy. Today’s sentencing helps to define a path for other victims and law enforcers to follow, and reinforces the likelihood that the theft of a domain can and will be prosecuted.” (July 22, 2011; Sentencing of Goncalves to 5 years in prison for stealing domain name)
