Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder wants the domain name eddievedder.com

Eddie Vedder, the lead singer of the alternative rock band Pearl Jam, wants the web address eddievedder.com.

A complaint (WIPO Case Number: D2012-0035) was filed this week with the World Intellectual Property Organization over the domain name.

What’s interesting about this case is that according to WHOIS records, Pearl Jam owned the domain name back in the mid-2000s up through late 2010, when the name switched over to Whois privacy.

EV Touring, Inc., which also owns the trademark on Eddie Vedder, is the complainant in the domain dispute.

At the time of this posting, the domain does not resolve to a web page.

I wonder how many other Eddie Vedders there are out there in the world that would want the site as well. There's gotta be a handful.

How did it revert out of Pearl Jam's ownership? Were they just stupid?

So some random domain squatter has it now, holding it hostage for a pretty penny? And why does Eddie want it back all of sudden? Sounds like he wants a place to sell his own stuff.

Maybe Pearl Jam still owns it but Pearl Jam is breaking up and Eddie wants it?

Honestly, if they had it and let it go, then he really should have no grounds for a lawsuit.

Not necessarily.

I didn't say that he doesn't have grounds for a lawsuit. I said that he shouldn't, which is purely my opinion.

That means he'll have to buy different, lower-quality eggs for a little while, and Lord knows we just can't have that now, can we?

He's saving for another gold plated swimming pool.

I think that was the Weird Al line, right?
