Directeur BREIN is de personificatie van de fight against piracy, overdracht timkuik.org bevolen

WIPO 13 november 2012, D2012-1839, Timkuik.org > Transfer

Domeinnaamrecht. De domeinnaam is identiek aan het ingeschreven merk TIM KUIK.

BREIN, (...), is actively involved inter alia in litigation against websites and services that infringe copyrights and neighboring rights. As director of BREIN since eleven years, the Complainant is seen in the Netherlands as the personification of the fight against piracy of music, films, games, etc. (...)

The Respondent uses the disputed domain name for different projects, including a platform for victims of the Complainant and BREIN. The Respondent considers himself a victim of BREIN as BREIN is stalking the Respondent and disclosing to the public full personal details of the Respondent. The Respondent is experiencing social problems as a result of this and has serious sleeping disorders.

Er is geen recht of legitiem belang aangetoond. Immers toont het subdomein [fuck.timkuik.org] een kopie van The Pirate Bay-website, wat onderwerp van procesvoering is tussen BREIN en bepaalde Nederlandse ISPs. Het betreft echter geen echte kritieksite, ook niet indirect met de link van de subdomeinnaam. Ook gebruik te kwader trouw wordt aangenomen en de overdracht wordt bevolen:

Onder B:

The Panel notes that the record of the present case presents a somewhat unusual picture. The sub domain <fuck.timkuik.org> was used to provide access to a copy of the website of The Pirate Bay, whereas the disputed domain name resolved to a website which, at the date of notification of the Complaint, did not express any criticism in relation to the Complainant and/or BREIN, except perhaps, indirectly, for the link to the sub domain. However that may be, the Panel acknowledges the possibility that the disputed domain name was registered for the purpose of creating such sub domain, which in turn was used for a copy of The Pirate Bay. In this regard, the Panel notes that the legitimacy of the website of The Pirate Bay is clearly a topic on which the Complainant and the Respondent strongly disagree.
