> We all should follow Shaq's example—don't ever pay for a screen name or a domain name again. The author doesn't really understand how trademark law works -- companies need to actively defend their trademarks in order to keep them. So when you see a company taking legal action against someone using a name similar to theirs, it doesn't always mean that they expect or even care to win the case, but legally they need to prove that they care about the trademark. In short, what works for THE_REAL_SHAQ wouldn't work for an actual business.
