CNET: Air France wins 'typosquatting' case

Air France won a legal case against they Uruguayan owner of the domain Arifrance.com, a deliberately misspelled version of the France's state carrier's own site. This is the latest in a series of successful "typosquatting" cases brought before the UN body that decides Internet name disputes. In the French case, however, the plaintiffs may be piqued by the use of the Anglo word "typosquatting," and Up2Speed suggests that sticklers for "the language of the Internet" may more properly employ "accroupissement de dactylographie."
