Then Fritz Pleitgen of chairmen of the pool of broadcasting corporations wanted to become and proclaimed in addition one "„Internet offensive "“. In whose he - faithfully the military origin of the term "“offensive"” - gave frameworks among other things the instruction, over trademark law as much as possible "“hostile"” Internet addresses "“conquers"”. Among other things once given up wdr.com, which was used meanwhile many years by Swiss bank company being castle Dillon READ, that today therefore instead the abbreviation UBS uses and no more WDR as well as evenly wdr.org of a technique journalist.

The Domainstreits ended in the chaos, wdr.com was lost one year to the delivery to a Korean Domain Grabber and to wdr.org by the transmitter was not registered, when its owner had under duress given her up.
