The Register: “A Canadian artist has won the right to the www.armani.com domain, following a
remarkable hearing at arbitrator WIPO.

The case is unusual in that, despite the clothes chain’s lawyers insisting the artist
had no legitimate right to the domain, a WIPO judge disagreed since the artist’s
name is Anand Ramnath Mani – shortened simply to A. R. Mani.”
