Skype domain name arbitration cases, a growing number for sure.

I just did a quick search on skype domain name arbitration. I am sure this list will become bigger :

Actually http://domains.adrforum.com/decision.aspx has a very good search engine. A search on the word skype reveals this :

Seems like the great clean-up has started… Who is next ?

But http://www.myskyp.com/ is still there. I read here that Benjamin Decraene of Belgium registered the name before Skype had launched  and can keep his domain. Interesting. I guess we shall soon see many people registering their local family  website joost this and that…. Anyways. Who knows.

Another great resource to track domain name dispute is http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/ Searching for Skype there gives you this.

Finally I want to round up this quick search with wondering what will happen to (just to name a few) :

www.skypesea.com
www.skype.com.my
www.skype.bm
www.skypeclass.com
www.skypeway.com
www.skypezone.cn

and so on….
