Activision is none too pleased by the actions of whomever owns ModernWarfare3.com, and it's making an attempt to have control of the the domain transferred to it.
Earlier this month, ModernWarfare3.com went from hosting anti-Call of Duty content to directing visitors to the official website of the franchise's biggest competition, Battlefield 3. This was possible because the domain is owned not by Activision, publisher of the Call of Duty series, but by someone else who has used the domain registrar's privacy settings to keep his/her/their identity unknown. Battlefield publisher EA has denied it's responsible, despite initial speculation that it might be behind it all.
Since then, Fusible notes the site briefly reverted to its old ways, but with the addition of a notice that a complaint (PDF) had been filed by Activision seeking it be granted the domain. It paid $2,600 (an insubstantial amount for a behemoth like Activision Blizzard) for a three-person panel to determine the validity of its accusations.
