THIS DOES NOT REFER TO ME.
Someone I know (really) owned a domain name of a national company -- let's use Nabisco as an example, though it's not food related. Anyway, the company has big lawyers and managed to take the domain from him through the courts. He told me he was going to declare bankruptcy to avoid paying huge penalties.
This was 2 years ago.
Segue to last week, and somehow I came across his new website which is using a free phpBB forum host. The subdomain is, you guessed it, nabisco.freehostname.com (remember, Nabisco is not the name).
How stupid can he be to use this again if he's already lost a trademark case over the same name?
