Not My Space, as it turns out

In February we reported that social networking giant Myspace Inc had managed to get the myspace.co.uk domain name using the Nominet Dispute Resolution Procedure. Well, that's all changed because the owner of the domain name, Total Web Solutions (TWS), has succeeded in appealing against the Nominet decision.

From an Information Overlord report, it seems that the Nominet Appeal Panel's view is that Myspace Inc hadn't successfully established that TWS' use of the domain name had become abusive. A question of evidence, then. For more details see the Information Overlord report and the Appeal Panel Decision itself.
