Yeah, I'd say the same thing if it was Toyota, Ford,
Ferrari or anyone else.
The thing is, that
guy got the domain first, yes. Does he have legitimate
interest in it? Maybe... his name is in fact "nissan".
He registered domain FIRST and he does have
interest in it. His company's name is Nissan Computers. His
name is Nissan. What kind of evidence would you like to see
in order to convince you that he has legitimate interest?
However, I would bet that the VAST majority
of hits recieved by that domain name are from people looking
for Nissan motors, not Nissan computers. Before that website
was shut down, you can bet he was making TONS of advertizing
money off that site and all those hits, that he didn't
deserve.
1. Its nissan's fault for not
registering the domain before him (if they were dumb enough
not to realize the importance of the internet before, it is
THEIR fucking problem, not Mr. Nissan's).
2. It is NOT
Mr. Nissan's fault that most of the people who went to the
site were expecting to see the website of the car
manufacturer.
3. There used to be a disclaimer on top of
the site that told the visitors that he is not affiliated
with Nissan.
4. Him making money is none of Nissans
concern.
Since the guy does seem to have a
real interest in the domain name though, I think both sides
have a case.
No, Both sides don't have a case.
Nissan Motor Co is trying to makeup for being dumbasses
and not registering the domain name first. While Mr. Nissan
is defending HIS property.
Lawsuits like this always piss me off.
Hell when somebody slams a $10,000,000 lawsuit on your ass
(which you have no way of paying, as private individual/small
bussiness owner) this is nothing more then a corporate
bullying. They are trying to scare you/force you to sell the
domain name.
If you'd like to know more about this BS
lawsuit look up http://www.ncchelp.org/index.htm
