Harrah Entertainment in Lawsuit

Harrah's Entertainment, the owner of the World Series of Poker, filed a lawsuit against a former Binion's Horseshoe employee, Federico Schiavio, over the usage of the acronym 'WSOP'.

Harrah acquired the World Series of Poker when it bought Binion’s Horseshoe back in 2004. From then on the WSOP has taken on the road to success, has broken the frontiers and has become one of the most sought after tournament on a world wide basis. Schiavio has been using the “WSOP.com” domain name for some of his WebPages. He is now planning on creating his own online poker site still using WSOP.

Harrah has filed a lawsuit because it says that Schiavio is using the name illegally, benefiting from it and is trying to enter into the world on online gaming this way.
This is a kind of problem which is seldom seen these days; in the early days of online gambling, anyone could easily buy a domain name and sell it to whomever paid enough for it.
