Nominet wins case against Domain Registrar Services (DRS)
UK domain name Registry Nominet has won its court case against
Domain Registrar Services Ltd. (DRS). Last year Nominet took action
against DRS and its sister company UK Names, after receiving complaints
that DRS were cold calling potential domain name customers and claiming
to be in partnership with Nominet.
The Directors of DRS, Scott Denny and Matthew Hayes, have now given
an undertaking that they will not in future engage in the domain
name business in the UK. They have also paid £40,000 towards
Nominet's costs and agreed to supply a list of people they have
approached.

Currently GNR only offers personal domain name registrations at
the 3rd level, which are separated by two dots (e.g. john.smith.name).
It also offers personal email addresses (e.g. john@smith.name).
