Yes, the German address seems to exist in real life (according to
Google).

And there are laws against domain grabbing in Germany. However, I am
not a lawyer, so I don't know whether this particular case can be
considered domain grabbing.

If libtiff was a brand that belonged to someone it would probably
help.

I don't even know if German law applies given that this is about a
.org domain.

There is a German language newsgroup on the topic of trademarks and
copyright: <news:de.soc.recht.marken+urheber>. However, I'm not sure
how smart it is to discuss this case in public. Let me know if you
want me to write a message into that newsgroup. Personal mail is fine
as well.

Regards,
Marco
