Legal row over iTunes domain name
March 2005
An internet entrepreneur is taking legal action
against computer giant Apple over the iTunes
domain name.
Benjamin Cohen, 22, registered itunes.co.uk in
2000, but earlier this month the UK domain name
registry, Nominet, handed the name over to Apple.
Mr Cohen, of Hackney, east London, has applied to
the High Court for a judicial review, saying
Nominet is biased against small businesses.
But Nominet say legal experts found Mr Cohen was
abusing his registration.
The body's judgement, dated the 10 March, states
by offering to sell the domain name and by
continuing to re-direct people from itunes.co.uk
Mr Cohen is abusing his registration.
