• application of the ACPA is not unconstitutionally retroactive because cy-bersquatting is a continuing wrong
• “Similarly, the injunction that was issued in this case provided only prospective relief to Sportsman’s. Since it did no more than avoid the continuing harm that would result from Sporty’s Farm’s use [of] the domain name, there is no retroactivity problem.”
