I Love Internet Law
I am taking Internet Law this semester and have found it really interesting. Our professor assigned us to read several trademark infringement cases regarding confusing domain names.
The fact of these two cases just cracked me up…
1. In Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc. v. Bucci, 42 U.S.P.Q. 2d 1430 (S.D.N.Y. 1997), the defendant, who is a host of “Catholic Radio”, registered the domain name plannedparenthood.com and created a website containing anti-abortion and anti-contraception materials. As a result, users looking for birth control information would be directed to a book titled “The Cost of Abortion”.
2. In People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) v. Doughney, 263 F. 3d 359 (4th Cir. 2001), the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sued Michael Doughney after he registered the domain name peta.org and created a website called “People Eating Tasty Animals.”
Haha, what a great name for a website—people eating tasty animals

Lesson of the Day
If you are ugly, you better stay in
Because
If you go out and smile at people, you end up scaring them anyway
And when people get so scared that they kindly ask you to stay in
You are just pathetic

What Donut Are You?
You Are a Boston Creme Donut |
You have a tough exterior. No one wants to mess with you. But on the inside, you're a total pushover and completely soft. You're a traditionalist, and you don't change easily. You're likely to eat the same doughnut every morning, and pout if it's sold out. |
