Disney has won control of the star-wars.co.uk domain (and several others) from a costume retailer that was using it to sell "legitimate and licensed" Star Wars-themed costumes. Disney bought Lucasfilm and all of its intellectual property for $4.1 billion in 2012. The retailer's parent company, Abscissa, had used two of the domains for the last 10 years.
However, at the tail of the BBC story: "Abscissa itself has also benefited from the dispute-resolution process, by wresting control of jokers.co.uk from a fancy-dress rival in 2007".

Why use one word to say something plainly when you could further expound through the heavy overutilization of utterly unnecessary but not entirely incorrect filler for no reason beyond putting forth and perpetuating the generally pointless illusion that the more verbose language one speaks with, usually somehow the more official sounding in spoken tone such a thing begins to be?
Don't blame me, I voted for moose wang!
