Paul Allen wrestles PaulAllen.org away from 'Paul Alien' filmmaker
- Locke1689 17y ago"Postman noted that Mayer had taken large portions of the legitimate Paul Allen Web sites in order to make his site look as if it was connected to the billionaire." Seems like a legitimate seizure to me. If you're actively trying to fool your clients in order to make a profit off someone else's name, that seems like a legitimate cause for domain seizure. It's like someone registering gooogle, making a google copy, then putting their own ads on it.
- imp 17y agoI agree. I was just about to copy that same line from the article. The article title is sensationalized. I had assumed he took it from someone also with the name Paul Allen, but it was just someone who made a satirical film of the real Paul Allen.
- rms 17y ago>David Postman, a spokesman for Allen, said the company attempted to reach Mayer on a number of occasions but the email and physical address provided on the domain registration papers didn't work. That's just as important -- a reminder to you to always use real information when you register!
