[simpits-tech] Web site registeration issue using F16 plane name

[cyplesma at aol.com]

 there was a lot of those internet domain name situations that went either way in the 90's.

just like fighting over the ole west.

what was the fonda movie where her dad was run off his property by the local big business with help from the local sheriff? cat boulou?

That's a pretty disgusting story if you believe all you read. didn't this
happen ages ago with macdonalds.com ??  iirc an old-timer (Mr MacDonald)
ran a hardware store that had been in his family for years. Mickey D's
tried to get the domain off him via the courts and the courts threw it out
since he was using his own name and posed no commercial threat. I think
Mickey D's ending paying a LOT of money to buy the domain off him.
