(Episode 248: 14min 26) To get a .com.au or .net.au domain for your business you have to demonstrate that the name you are seeking is related to your registered business name. That should mean that all Aussie domain names are legitimate, but what if you think someone has registered a name to pass themselves off as you? What can you do about it?

Today on BTalk Australia Phil Dobbie talks to Chris Disspain, the CEO of auDA, the Australian Domain Name Administrator, about what’s permissible and what’s not when determining who has rights to particular Aussie domain names.
