The site that brought about the lawsuit was empty. It wasn’t until the estate of Lewis filed suit against him that he put up ANOTHER site (savenarnia.mobi) to earn traffic. I never claimed that the original site had ads on it. I said the supporting site did. You might want to read the article and links again.

The laws are very clear that had they scooped this coveted name and actually USED the site for say a fansite, then they would have been hard pressed to find a case against him. That’s not squatting. It was this combined with other evidence that caused them to lose the case.

Im not siding with the big money. I am siding with the court’s decision because it is valid and legal. If he was just some fanboy they were trying to tear down over a domain, i would side with the family.

And if you did read this site with any regularity you will see that we often side AGAINST corporate bullshit. The big guy shoving his money around instead of actually being right is always called on it here at TMB.

“Damn the Man, Damn the Man, I say!”

See, I can do it too when I want. Although I don’t see the appeal to it. It’s much more fun to, you know, base it off the actual situation.

The site had nothing on it. You admit that and so do they. But then you further suggest that the reason that the site should have been handed over is that it could have had something on it.

Wait. So your case is both that the sites does and does not have content on it?

The whole “the father owned another site with adverts on it” argument is flawed. It is a standard Ad Hominem attack that if the judge was competent wouldn’t have been allowed in the proceedings. It is no more or less valid than for example using the victim’s sexual history to justify a rape. Or using the victim’s criminal record to justify why they reserved for you to kill them.

But frankly I’ve been reading this blog a while and have come to expect you siding with the industry in 9/10 cases.
