Welcome to the latest edition of the Domain Name Wire newsletter.

The top five stories on Domain Name Wire last month (as ranked by views) all had something to do with cybersquatting or legal challenges. In three of the cases the company bringing the complaint lost.

In the most notable story, Michael Jackson's estate finally got the domain name KingOfPop.com. It was used by a gourmet gift basket seller that used the domain to promote popcorn...

...Are you headed to any domain name events in the coming months? I plan to attend ICANN 66 in Montreal this November and NamesCon in Austin at the end of January. Please let me know if you'd like to meet up.

Finally, a quick ask: can you think of anyone who would be a good guest for the Domain Name Wire Podcast? I'm always looking for fresh voices with different points of view. Drop me a line if you have ideas.
