I am not sure why you are downvoted, because you are dead right. "Might makes right" is exactly the 'philosophy' of the dictators of both countries. Human rights and related concepts are for them nonsense and signs of the weak. The clash between Hitler and Stalin was a clash of two very like minded people. Some horrid people defend the massacring by Putin by defending the might makes right mindset. They even might th…

The US certainly believes in might makes right too.

I don´t think so, even more so in absence of any evidence. And I am not from the US. The US had the biggest power the past decades and have used it to uphold a rule based world order. Be careful what you wish for.

Make no mistake, I have lots of critical things to say about the US. The war on terror was a stupid reaction on the rise of terrorism and extremism, for example. But the US has in general been a real good force for the world.

Wait till you learn what might makes right really means, you will soon regret armchair snarks.

Because domains pointing to where you'd expect just makes the internet a better place. It reduces dependency on search engines, makes the internet simpler to use, and ideally you could be confident that nissan.com isn't some Joe Blow but a trusted company. What benefit does "first come first serve" provide? Nothing other than allowing individuals to hijack widespread brands.

Sir, I'd like to introduce you to the concept of property rights. God, I'm glad I don't live in a hell hole where someone who is trying to make the world a better place can just trample over me.

I wonder how much not having nissan.com affected Nissan’s business. I’m probably sure it’s tremendous.

Perhaps back when his fight with the automaker was going on. But typing "nissan" into Google has returned the automaker as the 1st result for quite a while now (SEO for the win). Someone would have to type the full domain name into their browser to end up at his site.

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.

Should domains be first come first serve though? Why? Almost 100% of people when they hear "Nissan" think of the car company, so why should that domain direct to some random guy who happened to claim it first?

You f@cking idiota ...

Example of litigating over something that can't typically be trademarked - "Nissan" is a family name. There are plenty of articles online discussing the nissan.com case from the UDRP perspective, which is the typical remedy, and one Nissan can still pursue - you can't escape the UDRP due to the ICANN mandate.

Ford, Chrysler, Bloomberg - I'm not sure what you mean by "can't typically be trademarked". If Nissan Motors believed they could win via UDRP, why haven't they?

Mr Nissan's hand is rather strengthened when he can show the UDRP panel he won a similar case in a US court of law, which might take the wind out the sails on the Nissan Motors side. For what its worth, the WIPO databases show plenty of other UDRP claims from Nissan Motors.

> I'm not sure what you mean by "can't typically be trademarked".

I mean exactly that - under most trademark law systems, you cant typically trademark a family name. I say typically because like everything there are exceptions.

Can you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamewar comments to HN? You've done this repeatedly, and we end up having to ban such accounts. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Cars don't make decisions, people do, yet you blame "cars". Anyway, your entire argument is a straw man.

As someone who had no idea who this person was or their legal troubles with Nissan (motor company), I find it strange that this was the battle he chose to fight to define who he was as a person.

Each to his own though. Not a hill I would have chosen to die on.

What makes you think that any other carmaker would have behaved differently?
