After 22 years, PaintNET creator Rick Brewster has finally gained ownership of the paintnet domain name. Since launching PaintNET in 2004, Brewster had to use getpaintnet as the official website because the matching domain was owned by someone else. This often caused confusion among users searching for the program online. The situation changed when the domain was allegedly used in a way that made visitors believe it was the official PaintNET website. Brewster called it a “slam dunk case of trademark infringement,” noting that PAINTNET has been a registered trademark since 2009. Announcing the news, Brewster said he had been trying to acquire the domain for “22 years.” The successful transfer means PaintNET can finally use the web address that matches its name.
