Well damn creep. They offered him $10. I mean cmon you've got this HUGE corporation offering $10. That's the kind of money you bet some kid in school to take Mr. Toomey's toupe(argh can't spell it) off. I would've asked for at least $500-$1000 because he has really done a nice job on his website and you can tell a lot of time was put into it.

Yah, that is pretty stupid on the part of MS. Heh, this kid is getting some big publicity for his website though. CNN just had a piece on him.
Right up there with Visa (the credit card company) suing www.eVisa.com (a website divoted to helping people get travel visas) for name infringement. <a href='http://www.eff.org/Cases/Visa_v_JSL/' target='_blank'>Case details</a>
Or the Ford Motor Company and others (not sure who makes volvos) suing: www.jaguarenthusiastsclub.com, (which at the time was a site for owners of cars/trucks to come together and talk to one another about thier vehicles, and large jungle cats) www.volvoguy.com (the website of a volvo repairman), vintagevolvos.com (a site for enthusiasts of old volvos) lincolntrucks.com jaguarcenter.com and 4fordparts.com (sold parts for ford cars) (most of these sites are offline as of now or have been "absorbed" by FMC, so I couldnt see what happened to them) Details <a href='http://www.eff.org/IP/Internet_address_disputes/Ford_v_GreatDomains/' target='_blank'>here.</a>
A few more stupid cases just like this can be found at www.eff.org.
