Uzi battled Nissan motor company because the company thought they had the right to take the domain from a man who had registered it because it's his surname. Nissan Motors should have been slapped with a massive punitive fine for that, but instead they continued to bleed Mr. Uzi Nissan of his resources by suing him repeatedly.

Are there any car companies that are innocent?

Good question. We've talked to various lawyers throughout the years. The crappy part is that the people who resurrected it have hundreds of millions in real estate backed ventures (big $$$), so there's really not much we can do aside from pound sand considering we weren't brewing the beer, or enforcing the trademark. The even weirder thing is that they used his name as their contact email for the longest time on thei…
> even had the gall to leave one of their first bottled brews at my great great grandfather's gravesite. That's a weird thing to do. I can see wanting to steal an established brand because people are attracted to legacy, especially in the case of something like brewing. But leaving a tribute at his grave is, honestly, just bizarre behavior. Are the obsessed or something? Do they think they have some connection to you…
That came across as a genuine gesture ... I wonder if there is more to this story.

I agree with you but honestly if it was another person named Toyota who purchased toyota.com, they would definitely be pursued/sued by Toyota as well. Large Corporations are powerful and will do everything they can to get what they want. It just happens to be Nissan in this case. So I wouldn't treat them any different than the others to be honest.
Valve, despite controlling something like 80% of PC game sales, hasn't gone after the owner guy who owns steam.com

Yeah, a bit obsessed, I reckon. What irks me the most is my late father collected breweriana from the old brewery (serving trays, tip trays, signs, etc.). From what I've heard, after inheriting some of his collection and attending the bottle/breweriana shows he went to, I found out from a couple of dealers, that one of the guys from the brewery has also been collecting. So now I've got competition with deep pockets i…

We should try and find out who is managing his estate, let's get it renewed the maximum duration, just to annoy Nissan
I'd be up to contribute some funds to have a $5 DO droplet serving the website for some time as well. I'll start by committing to one year of hosting ($60). I'll never buy a Nissan because of their actions against nissan.com, but somehow it doesn't always feel like enough.
