Apple targeting porn sites that use iPhone name
Share:
Because a privacy service is blocking the "Whois" information of the sites, the real owners of the offensive web pages cannot be found. Interestingly, the domain name iPhone4S.com was registered in August 2008, more than three years before Apple released a phone with that name. Apple owns the domain name iPhone4.com, but doesn't have a connection to iPhone3GS.com and iPhone3.com.
The World Intellectual Property Agency is part of the United Nations. It is involved in settling disputes revolving around domain name ownership through the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy, which applies to top-level domains including .com, .net, and .org. The seven domain names in Apple's complaint are iphonecamforce.com, iphonecam4s.com, iphoneporn4s.com, iphonesex4s.com, iphonexxxforce.com, iphone4s.com and porn4iphones.com.
WIPO has settled disputes involving Apple. This past July, the organization ordered that the domain name iPod.com be turned over tp the tech company. And when WIPO fails, there is still good ol' cash. In April, Apple bought "iCloud.com" from Xcerion allegedly paying $4.5 million for the domain name.

Seing as the stats are that most of iphone buyers and users are teenagers you can bloody guarantee that most of them visit these sites regularly!!

Oh such an ignorant and stereotypical statement to make.

Hey, I didn't name myself after a team that lost in the playoffs.
39. choupino posted on 03 Nov 2011, 14:21 5
NO... You didn't... You chose to name yourself after some loser from a failed reality show, that had an obssesive love for professional wrestling.
WHAT A TOOL YOU ARE.

The "some loser from a failed reality show" part of your comment actually made me do a bit of research (wiki) on the miz. I didn't know that before.
So now I see The Miz as an amalgam of The Situation and John Cena.

no, you named yourself after a grown man that gets oiled up and rubs around with other men wearing nothing but spandex in a steroid enhanced male "soap opera"...

Miz You obviously didn't read phonearenas very own report about a week ago that statistical studies have determined that the majority of apple buyers and users are teenagers

Is that why 97% of of exchange users use iPads and 66% use iPhones.
Android is great if you're broke and need a bargain bin phone.

You gotta love the false instilled "Im rich look at me with an iphone,ive arrived" swagger from islaves with condescending thoughts that Android is for poor people,its thoroughly and Unequivocally reinforcing the statement that iphones are viewed by their primary base band as a fashion statement and as social acceptance item.
A daily laugh guaranteed!!
A whole load of Android phones being better and higher than tech than iphones of course but also 'cheaper' due to carrrier networks being able to and free to offer better subsided prices on these phones where as most networks as phonearena has reported are chained to the groin by massive controlling contracts by Apple and thus can't offer the same subsidation. Islaves of course simply see the higher iphone price meaning their more important and richer as their product costs more despite the false economy of it!

i'm a WP7 person I dont bother about ios or andriod but very very well said

Unfortunately I bought my HD7 3 weeks before the price dropped. Then due to a snafu in my contract I wasn't eligible for my rebate. /ihateeverything
30. KingKurogiii posted on 03 Nov 2011, 12:53 1
um, some of the better Android phones justifiably cost more than an iPhone so who's broke here? not us. xD
36. The_Miz posted on 03 Nov 2011, 14:01 1
That statistical study was ridiculously flawed.

Dude, watching porn on your phone or PC is like having unprotected sex. You will pick up a virus, the difference is that a phone/PC virus can be cleaned. A human virus can kill you! If you are going to watch porn, go buy it at your local Ma & Pa porn shop, but if you are going to the web then watch out! Don’t go to these sites or you might get burned! lol

Lets setup all kind of page that start with 'i' and hopefully apple needs to use it as their domain name :D
7. andro. posted on 03 Nov 2011, 11:05 5
Its funny how apple call it the iphone really,the I meaning the phone is all personally yours when the sad truth is the phone is severely locked down and controlled by apple to all the restrictions they dictate almost to the point where they view the buyers as those holding their property.
11. shafboy posted on 03 Nov 2011, 11:31 1
I think the i stands for intelligent. Not to suit you
15. Ivan6479 posted on 03 Nov 2011, 11:47 2
And where did you get this info?
22. andro. posted on 03 Nov 2011, 12:15 2
Seeing Some of the comments coming from apple to its users these days when they report faulty antennas etc the I could also stand for how apple views their minions, ie. maybe the I stands for 'idiots,idiotic,impest........or more suitable here for this article.........iconolagny!!!!! lol
33. remixfa posted on 03 Nov 2011, 13:38 4
no, its a mind trick. the i simply means i. it helps to trick the consumer mind into an owner mentality when buying it. iphone flips into "my phone" in the mind.
one thing apple is good at is marketing. they are very good at marketing.
48. Damien_666 posted on 04 Nov 2011, 03:09 1
i also stands for idiot, lol!
4. jasongohjr posted on 03 Nov 2011, 10:59 3
Or maybe apple are suing them so they could set up their own iporn website JUZ TO EARN MORE $$$
6. andro. posted on 03 Nov 2011, 11:03 3
These websites will just be renames 'eyephone' kinda like futurama style!
34. BaiGanyo posted on 03 Nov 2011, 13:49 0
"big brother" apple doesn't allow porn. they decide what we can do with our own devices.
38. KingKurogiii posted on 03 Nov 2011, 14:14 0
maybe they're about to launch their own iPorn and they don't want any competition.
9. The_Miz posted on 03 Nov 2011, 11:26 1
So let me guess, phonearena ran out of stories to post?
14. GALAXY-S posted on 03 Nov 2011, 11:43 4
why are you suprised? phonearena will cover any story with an iphone in it
13. GALAXY-S posted on 03 Nov 2011, 11:41 4
THEY SHOULD JUST RENAME THE WEBSITES TO ANDROPORN.COM, EVOPORN.COM , PORNFORDROID.COM OR XXXGALAXYS.COM
.. LOL THERE WOULD BE NO ISSUES WITH THESE NAMES
17. taco50 (banned) posted on 03 Nov 2011, 11:53 0
There would be. No one would visit the sites because they've never heard of those names. These websites are trying to cash in on the worlds best smartphone.
24. andro. posted on 03 Nov 2011, 12:19 2
More like theses websites know that apples user base are statistically primarily teenagers and thus their search for apple and porn will combine together for iphonecam4s.com giving maximum arousal!!
26. GALAXY-S posted on 03 Nov 2011, 12:32 1
yea iphone was great smart phone about a year and a half ago.. these names are now more recognized so they will be plenty of visitors now lol
32. EclipseGSX posted on 03 Nov 2011, 13:05 1
if its the "best" why do you not have a 4S yet hmmmm
40. GALAXY-S posted on 03 Nov 2011, 14:42 1
maybe he realized there is no point in getting it? exact same phone!
18. biophone posted on 03 Nov 2011, 11:57 0
I think this is funny. I dont blame apple for doing this because people could try amd go to there products and accidently go to a porn site. I hae down this favebook.com i think was my mispell. Companies know you will mispell then all of the sudden porn sites appear. Apple doesnt want that happening to their customers.
21. KingKurogiii posted on 03 Nov 2011, 12:14 0
damn..my site won't be the same anymore once Apple gets through with it. sorry everybody!
31. ledbetterp3 posted on 03 Nov 2011, 13:05 0
oing to iphone4s.com now, no one will ever know...
37. ivanko34 posted on 03 Nov 2011, 14:14 3
Apple should better spend a little time to make new phones
41. andro. posted on 03 Nov 2011, 15:46 3
I bet many in cupertino have tried to make pornographic love to their iphone
49. Damien_666 posted on 04 Nov 2011, 03:14 0
Looks like this website came before the 4S.
Maybe Apple should find better names for their phone models, lol..
