Debian.community domain name seized

Post Syndicated from original https://lwn.net/Articles/902373/

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.
