Reuters "Reports" Possibly Newsworthy WIPO Decision

Remember "Who, What, When and Where"? The New York Times headline says, "Actor Morgan Freeman wins cybersquatting case." Now read the Reuters story (covered untouched, unedited and un-thought-about by the Times) and let me know if you can figure out what the trademark or the domain name was.

I say this as someone who has been working in English for over 40 years now.

Imagine how much worse it would be if this story had been rushed into print by, like, a blogger!

UPDATE: Not surprisingly, Evan Brown has the details at Internetcases.com. The domain name? "MorganFreeman.com."
