United States Sixth Circuit

Defendant did not violate the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) by registering the domain name "lucasnursery.com" and using the site to detail her complaints against plaintiff. Bad faith was not shown, as she did not register multiple web sites; the practice of informing fellow consumers of one's experience with a particular service provider is not inconsistent with the ACPA's main objectives.
