Take-Two seeking control of GTAV.com domain name

4.4
Take-Two is seeking to gain control of the GTAV.com domain name, which is currently registered to a Spanish resident and listed as for sale.

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.

Ranzee 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?

Mortar They should have planned ahead in regards to their domain names, they should take initiative to obtain domains that may possibly be used for future games. If they were to do this, there wouldn't be a problem in the first place.


I agree, it happened with the WiiU.com domain and i'm not sure if they got it or not.
