Brazilian striker Ronaldinho can hit the "net" again after winning exclusive rights to the domain name ronaldinho.com on the worldwide Web.

The U.N. intellectual property agency WIPO said on Thursday that an Internet dispute body it runs had ruled in Ronaldinho's favour in a cyber-squatting case.

The judge in the case said that the pirate outfit, which had been using the site to publicise music videos, had been acting in bad faith and had no rights to the name.
