We've edited the title in an attempt to thread that needle. If someone can suggest a better—more accurate and neutral—title, we can change it again.


"This week we filed a lawsuit in Arizona against Namecheap [...] for registering domain names that aim to deceive people by pretending to be affiliated with Facebook apps."

The press release says "for registering domain names" so I think the original title was accurate.

Previous similar court case where Verizon won a judgment against OnLineNic on the basis of trademark infringement: https://dockets.justia.com/docket/california/candce/3:2008cv...

So it doesn't seem like this suit is just about discovering the identities of the registrants.


Hmm. Maybe we'll just cut it to the minimum viable title.

(Title was "Facebook sues Namecheap for registering phishing domains", then "Facebook sues Namecheap for registrants of phishing domains".)
