The appointed panel found that "the disputed domain name is identical to <br> a trademark in which the Complainant has rights." <br> <br> In its decision the panel noted: <br> <br> "[...] the disputed domain name is <br> identical to the DEBIAN mark, which carries a high risk of implied <br> affiliation with the Complainant. [...] Given that the Complainant <br> prominently describes Debian on its homepage as a 'community' and not <br> just an operating system, [the.community] suffix actually reinforces <br> that the disputed domain name will resolve to a site operated or <br> endorsed by [Debian]. The disputed domain name contains no critical or <br> other terms to dispel or qualify that false impression." <br> </span> <p><span style=3D"font-family:monospace">The panel went on to observe= : <br> </span></p> <p><span style=3D"font-family:monospace">"The evidence submitted by the Complainant shows that some posts present the <br> DEBIAN mark together with information about a notorious sex cult, notorious sex <br> offenders, and enslavement of women, and one post displays photographs of <br> physical branding allegedly on victims=E2=80=99 genital skin. The= segues from <br> information about the Complainant to this type of information are contrived and <br> the scale of this information is not merely incidental on the website. In the <br> Panel=E2=80=99s view, these posts are deliberately intended to cr= eate a false <br> association between the DEBIAN trademark and offensive phenomena and thereby <br> tarnish the mark."<br> </span></p> <p><span style=3D"font-family:monospace"></span></p> <p><span style=3D"font-family:monospace"> and further concluded that: <br> </span></p> <p><span style=3D"font-family:monospace">"nothing in the Debian Socia= l Contract or elsewhere indicates that the <br> Complainant has ever consented to the type of false associations with its mark <br> published by the respondent on its website. The Respondent points out that the <br> DEBIAN mark is registered only in respect of software. However, while the <br> relevant posts attack members of the Complainant who make available DEBIAN <br> software, rather than the software itself, these posts use the mark in <br> combination with the disputed domain name in a way that intentionally seeks to <br> create false associations with the mark itself.
