Back in July, the domainModernwarfare3.com surfacedand, funnily enough, it led users to theBattlefield 3official site. It was discovered that a fan (not EA) had purchased the domain and thought it funny to baitCall of Dutyfans for some laughs. Then there was the legal drama: Activision accused the domain’s owner of having no rights to the domain as well as using it in bad faith, both valid complaints.
Nearly two months later, a verdict has been reached naming Activision the owner of a shiny new domain name. There’s nothing there yet but hey, a battle was won. “Silly” seems too nice a word for this whole fiasco. There is, however, the matter ofmodernwarfare4.comwhich is just hilarious. Regardless, the full decision can be foundhere.
