Bad analogy... really bad.

See, Uzi was using the name Nissan for a particular location that was no the Nissan people were looking for. Actually, it would be like setting up a place called "Disneyland" to lure people in. When you get there, they actually sell used tires. BUT - they will direct you to Magic Mountain, a rival neighbor park, or NON-Disney companies selling Disney-like merchandise.

Is that still fair to either the consumer or the company they were looking for in the first place?</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
No, but many things aren't fair. If you are too slow to register a domain that u like, it's yer fault. If i got quick thinking and got there before you, it's MY property now. I can do whatever i want and i can post whatever ads i want that can bring me money. and it doesn't exclude rival ads. I understand that the laws exist, yet i don't think they are correct. First come first serve. Plus uzi did offer to sell the site. Nissan motors didn't like it... means they didn't need it that bad.

Your looking at it from the wrong perspective.  You see it like the internet is unchartered terroritory that the first person to stake claim wins.  The laws make sure copywrite laws are upheld and extortion isn't happening.  The laws benifit consumers (us) and companys, not greedy nerds that hog up domain names. I don't see how they could not be a law.  Cybersquatting is decietful and dirty, I'm glad its illegal.  Is Uzi Nissan guilty of cybersquatting, as I said on the first page who knows..... still no link.

To all the dissenters who hate the fact that nissan motors sued nissan computers, keep in mind that if they notice a trademark violation and fail to do anything about it for a certain legal period of time, then anyone else can start using their trademark and they have a much harder time defending it.
