This is interesting. At first I was on the side of Nissan Computer Corp., but on thinking about it: it's only because of Google that I know Nissan.com is not the motor company. This must have been a major pain for Nissan motors before Google. Nissan.com probably has many, many more hits due to visitors trying to find Nissan Motors. In such cases, I think we need to have a means to acknowledge that there is probably a stronger argument in favor of Nissan motors owning the domain.

In such cases, I think we need to have a means to acknowledge that there is probably a stronger argument in favor of Nissan motors owning the domain. In no way do we need to acknowledge that. If strangers show up at my house looking for you every hour, that doesn't mean that you should "probably" own my house. If Nissan wanted the domain, they should have offered a fair price rather than trying to take it via a unfounded lawsuit.
- jaredsohn 10y agoI agree. I think the large number of people going to nissan.com expecting to find Nissan Motors just serves as evidence that Nissan Motors should consider buying the domain (assuming that Nissan gets sufficient benefit by having those visitors go directly to their site when they type out nissan.com)
