Paris threatens US citizens over domain names
Paris entices millions of tourists every year with the Eiffel tower, Louvre Museum, gorgeous food and beautiful architecture. Yet the cities recent behavior does not reflect its fine, elegant image.
A recent law case saw Paris fined multiple times, in some cases up to $100,000 for sending threatening letters to US citizens who registered the domain name ‘.Paris’ and ‘.Parvi’ (Paris’s free wifi system).The United States government, top lawyers and citizens from both countries have taken sides and despite Paris being an internationally recognised capital city – it lost the case!
