===Ville de Paris & Reverse Domain Hijacking===

===Ville de Paris & Reverse Domain Hijacking===

In September, 2012, the City of Paris was found to be guilty of reverse domain name hijacking, where a 2009 case over Parvi.org resulted in a [[UDRP]] panelist awarding the domain to Paris before a Reverse Domain Hijacking lawsuit from the American registrant brought the case to a Texas court. A representative of the City of Paris did not present itself in court and the city was found guilty of reverse domain name hijacking, and ordered to pay $100,000 in restitution and $26,830 in attorney fees. The sum will likely be difficult to collect given the international nature of the case. <ref>[http://domainnamewire.com/2012/09/17/city-of-paris-ordered-to-pay-100k-for-reverse-domain-name-hijacking/ City of Paris Ordered to Pay 100k for Reverse Domain Name Hijacking, DomainNameWire.com]</ref>
