Lost in this overview (and I couldn't really tell the point of the overview) are the probably 10 000 + people per year who go to this site by mistake. It's odd to me that Nissan didn't just offer him those 7 figures worth of legal fees and solve it (or maybe they did to no effect)

I'm sure that the same efforts and patience invested in negotiating with the man would have bought them the assets. Bully is bully dude got mad.

The design of nissan.com takes me back to the days before the '.gif' patent war.

I looked at nissan.com, and its a shame that the site is basically internet trash and lame ads.

Apparently the man's virtue and principles worth more than whatever you would put instead of those "internet trash and lame ads"

Wow. I think the source code belongs in The Daily WTF. Just look at this gem:

If only he had gotten the domain for his first name, he wouldn't have to worry about legal issues.

I wonder how much simpler our browsers could be if we didn't have to worry about rendering and styling this breed of dated spec-breaking insanity.
