> A San Francisco judge awarded Pinterest $7.2 million in damages and legal fees ... against Qian Jin, a Chinese cybersquatter Uhm... so that's a US judge awarding damages against a Chinese person. What does this translates to practically speaking? This guy won't be able to enter the US. What else? Will it be up to the domain registrar to comply with the US court decision? What if the registrar is not US-based?

  The domains were impersonating pinterest. Perhaps the damages factored in lost traffic and damage to the brand.

    Not really impersonation, but trademark dilution. Pinterest argues that their mark is famous and instantly recognizable brand name, which gives them extra trademark protection against infringement.

They're .com addresses, supposedly the court can get Verisign to pull them. http://blog.easydns.org/2012/02/29/verisign-seizes-com-domain-registered-via-foreign-registrar-on-behalf-of-us-authorities/ http://blog.easydns.org/2012/02/29/verisign-seizes-com-domai...
