MySpace.com v. MySpace.co.uk

MySpace.co.uk was registered six years before MySpace.com was founded. Nonetheless, arbitrator Antony Gold has ruled that the domain name should pass to MySpace.com:
"The Complainant [MySpace, Inc.; MySpace.com] has Rights in a name or mark which is identical to the Domain Name and the Domain Name in the hands of the Respondent [Total Web Solutions Ltd; MySpace.co.uk] is an Abusive Registration. The Domain Name is to be transferred to the Complainant."
