A domain name registration authority is not liable for money damages for the registration or maintenance of a domain name for another absent a showing of bad faith intent to profit from such registration or maintenance. A domain name registration authority is subject to court injunction if it refuses to provide the court with documentation concerning the domain name that would establish the court’s control over it in an in rem suit, or if it transfers, changes, or cancels the domain name during an in rem suit.
