The House of Representatives is about to vote on legislation that would grant sweeping new powers for trademark holders and undermine the rights of domain name holders, Internet users, and small businesses. H.R. 3028 &ldquo;The Trademark Cyberpiracy Prevention Act of 1999&rdquo; will also establish unprecedented ability for trademark holders to sue Internet users all around the world. And H.R. 32028 will undermine a fair and carefully crafted international consensus on the resolution of Internet name disputes. It's a bad bill and it should be stopped.
