Take-Two seeking control of GTAV.com domain name
Fusible reports that Take-Two has filed a complaint with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in a bid to take control of GTAV.com.
The domain name currently redirects users to the official Grand Theft Auto V website, although as recently as February 2013 it took users to a blog about the game.
This year alone, Take-Two has reportedly filed more than two dozen disputes over fake beta websites like gta5betacode.com, with the WIPO ruling in the publisher's favour on each occasion.
In July, Rockstar released a new GTA 5 gameplay trailer featuring almost five minutes of fresh footage.
Rockstar has confirmed a US and European GTA 5 release date of September 17 on Xbox 360 and PS3. The game will launch in Japan on October 10.

I wonder why they don't just pay the person who owns it, it probably would be easier and it would cost less money then all the legal fees, that is usually what Microsoft does and if they don't sell it then they go to court over it.

Lol, sucks to be them
But you're forgetting Japan get nearly everything else before anyone else
They might get everything else earlier, but I would be mad because GTA 5 is going to be the best game yet!

Grand Theft Auto isn't as big in japan as it is here. It sucks that they will be getting it a month later though
I'd be pissed GTA 5 is going to be insane!

JRTRanzee GTAV was quite predictable because of GTA IV. Whoever has the domain will get a lot of money!
They'll probably get the domain for free, you know?
It's highly likely that they will get it for free, i couldn't see them actually having to pay for it
