International pop star Madonna has won the rights to the domain name madonna.com in the latest high-profile cybersquatting case dealt with by the UN body WIPO.
The organisation, which arbitrates in cybersquatting cases, ruled that the owner Dan Parisi had failed to prove a legitimate interest in the domain name and had registered it in bad faith.
The madonna.com web site had reportedly been used as a porn site.
