The father snapped up Narnia.mobi. TheQueen.mobi, ThePresident.mobi and about 30 others when the mobi domain came out 2 years ago. He has the domains “parked” at SEDO making ad click revenue off them – including Narnia related adverts. Who buys a present for their kid and waits two years to give it to them? The father is a domain speculator using his kid for sympathy.

The wierd thing is, the family bouht the address 2 years ago, why on earth wait 2 years to give your son an address?? its smell’s of bullcrap to me.

In the main story in the papers they also state they bought thequeen.mobi and uspresident.mobi

In my opinion they are looking for money. it makes no sense to me to keep a crappy present for 2 years before giving it to a child.

I’m still trying to figure out how the “ancestors” of C.S. Lewis are able to sue these people from beyond the grave. Now, if it were his “decedents”, it would be a little easier to understand…

the .mobi can’t be all that new since they registered the domain in 2006…. so they can save it for a boy’s birthday 2 years later?

The issue here isn’t that they wanted the name (which might be true) but legally you cant do NOTHING with a domain name and sit on it that long. Its called cybersquatting and they likely have a strong case against them.

If they did ANYTHING with it at all they would be screwed. If you register the domain name (and use it) its yours.

.mobi addresses are the new hot thing, everyone is buying them up. a good domain name can be worth a lot of money downt he road if you get it quick and use it.

IMO – the father saw an opportunity to make money, but he knows that the domain should rightfully belong to the lewis family unless it was proved he was actually using it. from what i understand, that is the trick to retaining ownership to a disputed name – proving you have a good reason to own the domain.
