[6] See Israel Harold Asper v. Communication X Inc. D2001-0540 "It is less likely that a business person will use his or her name to market their own goods or services, and very unlikely that they will do so to market someone else's. Take, by way of examples, Henry Luce, Kenneth Thomson, Conrad Black and Rupert Murdoch. Are their publications marketed as a product connected to the person in question? Not likely?"
[7] "The name "Turner" has been used in the names of several media companies, in addition to its inclusion in the name of the Complainant Ted Turner Film Properties. The majority needs numerous pages of explanation to dispel the obvious and lose the forest for the trees. This evidence is sufficient to find the existence of a common law trademark or service mark in the name "Ted Turner..." The Policy is not so limited as to require this result." Dissenting opinion in R.E. Ted Turner and Ted Turner Film Properties, LLC v. Mazen Fahmi, D2002-0251

Hoffman A Lesson in Domain Names and Trademarks from Bruce Springsteen, http://www.gigalaw.com/articles/2001-all/hoffman-2001-10-all.html The author says "The site with the name of the artist as the domain followed by the ". com" is almost always viewed as the "official" site, thus leading to confusion".
