List of all DNC authorised registrars is available with .nz domain name pricing and other details. Please be advised that the list is out of date but it will be updated in future.   Monday, 19 December 2005 Vegan vs Manufacturer I spent about 5-10 minutes on each of the websites this afternoon. www.premierbacon.co.nz is clearly different from www.premierebacon.co.nz but has copied, in an amateurish fashion, the look and feel of www.premierebacon.co.nz. It also looks like it has copied entire sections of copy from the target site (www.premierbacon.co.nz/premier.php compared to www.premierebacon.co.nz/about.html). Looking at the meta tags of www.premierbacon.co.nz however does provide a glimpse into the thinking and possible trade mark infringement of www.premierbacon.co.nz. It appears to be using trade/service marks it does not ‘own’. <meta name="keywords" content="Factory Farming Premier Premiere Bacon Ham Pork cruelty murder Country-style Wairarapa New Zealand pigs pig nz animal rights christmas lockdown campaign torture cage sow crate slaughter"> I could not see any reasonable person confusing the two sites or thinking that www.premierbacon.co.nz is anything other than a protest site of www.premierebacon.co.nz. I do think however that www.premierbacon.co.nz should not have copied verbatim entire pages from the www.premierebacon.co.nz site and should stop using any trade/service marks it does not own. These aspects just makes them open to challenge over copyright and trade mark infringement on the site. 3:03:28 PM      Like to comment? [] Bringing home the bacon Stuff has a story about a .nz domain name dispute regarding premierbaconco.nz.
