Domain name confusion
Intercapping is often used to clarify a domain name. However, DNS is
case-insensitive, and some names may be misinterpreted when converted to
lowercase. For example: Who Represents, a database of artists and agents, chose
whorepresents.com; a therapists' network thought therapistfinder.com looked
good; and another website operating as of October, 2006, is penisland.net a
website for Pen Island, a site that claims to be an online pen vendor, but
exists primarily as a joke, as it has no products for sale. In such situations,
the proper wording can be clarified by use of hyphens. For instance, Experts
Exchange, the programmers' site, for a long time used expertsexchange.com, but
ultimately changed the name to experts-exchange.com.
Leo Stoller threatened to sue the owners of StealThisEmail.com on the basis
that, when read as StealthIsEmail.com, it infringed on claimed trademark rights
to the word "stealth".
