Right, they didn't win the court case. But their company wasn't ruined like Nissan Computer was by the lawsuit. For fighting this case that they knew they were in the wrong of, a case they knew they'd lose, if Uzi fought them, they deserve every last bit of negative advertising and lost profits. Uzi didn't want to sell. If they had been better at their business, they should have grabbed the domain name first, but Nissan Motors was late to the market and lost out. If they hadn't been a giant corporation, no doubt the case would have been thrown out or settled, but they used the money to bully Uzi. They deserve what they got. And the rest of us deserve to have a court system that works for non millionaires ... But that's just wishful thinking.
- macspoofing 9y ago>but they used the money to bully Uzi And it cost them. I'm not on Nissan's side here. They should have engaged Uzi in a good-faith negotiation. In the end, I think he would have sold for something - because that would have been the right thing to do. Not only because it would have made financial sense for him to do so, but because the branding value of the domain is so high for a multi-national/multi-billion dollar corporation compared to a small mom and pop outfit that it approaches at least an ethical consideration. But they didn't do that, and all sides are worse for it.
