Heinz says sorry for ketchup QR code that links to porn site

• MichaelCrawford 11y ago
  A friend of mine was a web producer, mostly successful but one of his clients refused to pay, so my friend redirected his domain to a porn site. His parents were quite surprised when a sheriff's deputy came to their home in hopes of serving a lawsuit complaint. I never heard how the lawsuit turned out but I expect the client would have lost.

    I expect the client would have lost Really? If I buy a domain that refers to someone else's business and redirect it to a porn site, I would expect a complaint against me to be upheld - it's at least trademark infringement, if not some form of defamation. The fact there was work involved and the client didn't pay doesn't change that.

      The client contracted for a website but then didn't pay. My friend therefore was not expected to deliver.
