In Chapter Four, I will discuss avenues for remedies available in relation to cybersquatting through ICANN, WIPO and the national courts of the US, UK and Germany. In Chapter Five, I will discuss first some jurisdictional issues related to combatting cybersquatting, and then proceed with a survey of proposed solutions to cybercrime while also pointing out potential benefits and drawbacks to each solution. |
