There's also a page about <a href="http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp.htm" rel="nofollow">Domain Name Disputes</a> at the ICANN site. Sadly though, it looks like you're really only going to get anywhere if you have registered the name as a trademark. Mind you, I can't see the .com domain registration process being a particularly profitable one for the squatters if they're just trawling through MySpace looking for any old band names. Perhaps they're being picky and only going for the acts with real promise. I'd make a virtue of the .nz domain if I was you. Promote the hell out of the New Zealand angle (we have a good reputation for experimental music -- especially in Europe) -- and while you're getting the attention, focus on search engine results (see Thing 13) and repeat visits. Looking forward to seeing the full website, rather than just the redirect to the MySpace page.

About two weeks ago, I started a musician page (not explicitly connected) to release self-made experimental music. As a result of a tip found here, I registed a domain name (see Website link). Now, while in Domainz, I checked the .com global option as it appeared it was taken, and it turns out that some private, nameless company in the California registered the .com version just last week. The moniker I use is not likely to be popular so I assumed that cyber-squatters like this company must check social networking sites like MySpace, and simply register musican, and probably label domains in the off-chance that one or two will make it big and buy them out. Am I right? Any tips here for dealing with this kind of thing? I’ve been running a individual profile on MySpace since the end of 2006.
