Your favourite designers (us, we mean) are off to court today. Where we’ll be fighting White’s Pacers, the shoe company, over the ownership of our web address: whitespacers.com
The footwear manufacturer’s legal representative, Hugh Phibbs QC, will claim that various irregularities in the registration of our domain name mean that his client is entitled to share our website. And that we should therefore set aside 50% of each and every one of our webpages to advertise White’s Pacers brogues, boots and trainers. He will even suggest that we have a duty to design the banner ads ourselves.
Well, we say it’s totally ridiculous. Who could possibly believe this nonsense?
