Activision takes back Modernwarfare3.com

The web domain ModernWarfare3.com originally ran a Battlefield 3 promotion was outed by DNS service GoDaddy and will now go its rightful owners, Activision.

The lawyers have prevailed and the Noational Arbitration Forum has decided in favor of the Call of Duty publishers and that the three criteria necessary for a domain transfer (that the name is confusing, the holder has no real interest in the domain name, and the name is “being used in bad faith”) have all been met.

The original owner, Anthony Abraham, failed to argue fair use of the term “modern warfare” was generic enough to have a life outside of the video game world. Either way, he’s still got ElderScrolls5.com in his hand.
