Wow, great story, I have a similar one, a guy registers Orlando.com because orlandosurfnet is not available and he wants to do an ISP. Anyway, ISP does not go so well so he slaps up a booking engine from HRN now hotels.com and starts making a little bit of revenue. So HRN, Disney and a few other players are all after the domain and bombard the guy with lawyers. I am pretty sure he had Aspergers or some other form of high functioning autism. So I think it freaked him out and he just was not budging. So we go down to his office, talk to the guy take him to lunch find out what he really wants to do and just don't bombard the guy. We finalized the paperwork that day and grabbed it out from under the other players. Anyway, your story just reminded me that a little honest conversation and a little less business can go a long way some times. In the end everyone got what they wanted. Well not everyone but all the parties I was interested in did.
