damn squatters.

Here's another internet commerce case: Air France won the right to take over a website that used a garbled version of its name apparently to steer business toward other travel companies and some finance firms. The infringing site was Arifrance.com.

Other "typosquatting" cases that have been successfully arbitrated include Nasdasq.com and Wallsreetjournal.com.

Interestingly, the defendant in the Air France case made no submission in his defense.
