Maybe NISSAN fights for domain names a little too much If your surname is used by some big company, you may want to read this. And if you have a company which uses your surname , even if properly registerd, you must read this. And if all of above is true and your have a website read the link or welcome to the world of "sue em till they are out of money and die"

Death sells, but who's buying? An enterprising fellow was so moved by the recent Texas tragedy of a depressed mother killing her five children that he bought the domain name "AndreaYates.com" and put it up for auction on Ebay. Ebay, that bastion of good taste , eventually pulled the auction.

Elizabeth-Taylor.com, anybody?
PopeJohnPaulI.com? [dead, alas]

Margaret Mead, Jerry Brown, Noam Chomsky? No problem.

…and don't miss the popups. (Warning: annoying and pointless.)
