• sonia Treby 11:49 pm 18-Mar-2010 This case, hits the core of every Musician. It is not required by Law that a Musician requires to own a domain name. The fact that the respondent was known to the Complaintant and the deceased, is in it self bad faith.. 133 visits per day, may be an 'assertion' - but did any body look? The respondant appears to be a competitor, with no goodwill. Looks like WIPO just did this jerk a favour.

• portereblake@hotmail.com 05:32 pm 29-Mar-2010 WIPO - Your Rules are weak! I am a Musio. My domain is not registered! If I died and some asshole claimed my music rights after I died, I'd want my Boy friend of 5 years defending Me! Long term association with the names and goodwill should be enough! . If this case, was held in a court in Australia, the docks would be full! The bad faith would be taken into account, and the respondent would be expected to substanitate his claims! Brendon Ruddick, Meleotope Biz, Meleotrope.com, wordstotheworld.com speechbaby.com (plus several others) and now ninwinter.com. williewinters.com williewinter.com ianedwardwinters.com ianedwardwinterMUSIC.com and ninpitarresi.com - see the pattern? All generic names - off the good will and long term use of established domain names - See the pattern? Respondents argument was that he bought the domains for freedom of speech. Check out what his doing with them? No free speech here! Just goodwill exploitation! ...And what's this - No appeal! Only under special circumstances? Wake Up WIPO - if you are going to play judge and jurer - When in doubt ask for clarification Your service is not free! You want respect? then act responsibly and respectfully!

• stndup4yrrights 02:17 am 24-Dec-2010 this decision, reflects poorly on the trade marks of the complaintant. This decision is the only link to the respondent, and he is milking it. We now know what WIPO's policy on personal names - but what is their policy on validating respondents who lie.

• Nina 03:27 am 19-Jan-2011 Ownership partains to an IP address, nothing else! All these comments are appreciated but not helpful.

• Nin 03:20 am 06-Jun-2014 Brendon Ruddick self- represented, " say so" ( welcome for raising & validation in a fair & legal setting,) WIPO (unbelievably) ignores shown misconduct & fails to omit in its entirety an accepted supplement (submitted by Lawyers) which also included: Brendon Ruddick has no ,( Apra people corroborated, social, wanted or net link associations, (with anyone on or off the Net) , submitted a visibly doctored email (as his only form of validation) , & was already subject to restraining orders speaks for itself. Ownership of any domain even WIPO rendered ones, does not supersede AU registrations since 2006, Music, civil rights & magistrates enforced restraining orders (which includes the net). As of August, 2013 & despite the best efforts of Glen Waverly & Murrayville Police, Brendon Ruddick could not be sourced, located or served, conveniently relocating evading, serious (acknowledged accusations). New stalking laws & recommended changes to WIPO Rules are a step in the right direction & no one should have to put up with this shite!
