Taiwan: Flickr.tw

Categories: East Asia, Taiwan (ROC), Technology

CK received a letter from a lawyer representing Flickr. The letter demands him to close the website and hand over the domain flickr.tw (zh) [1] back to Yahoo! because it has violated the company's trademark. Many Taiwan bloggers criticized Yahoo! for its legal action. In Hemidemi's bookmark (zh) [2], some comments point out that domain name shouldn't be equal to trademark; some point out that flickr wouldn't take up flickr.tw as its domain in the future, the website has done no harm to Yahoo!
