    > I am safely the legal owner of the domain despite its being her first and last name

    Sorry, I thought that meant that you had registered it with her first and last name, not that it was firstlast.com. In that case, you own the sucker. If she brings it up in court saying it was a gift, just ask why it doesn't have her name on the whois in that case. Also, hearsay isn't acceptable in a court of law.

    If you're concerned about the fact that it's her name, read up on the guy who bought bosleymedical.com

    CNN reports that a man's website, http://www.bosleymedical.com, criticizing the Bosely Medical Institute does not infringe the institute's copyright on its name.
    No, they reported that an appeals court ruling determined that the site didn't infringe Bosely's trademark. The original story reports it correctly, an ignorant CNN.com headline writer changed "trademark" to "copyright", and an equally ignorant Christoph submitted this court ruling as if it were the last word. Jeez, how could anybody follow the news recently and not know about the federal appeals process?

    I'm tempted to give Zouk a hard to for the usual Slashdot editors sin of posting a story without really reading it. But with so much sloppy thinking by Christoph and that nameless idiot at CNN.com, I guess that's kind of lame.

    I disagree. I as a person using the web want websites accurately named. I can't express the horror I had at school when I accidently went to www.whitehouse.com some many years ago. Not to mention all the SPAM out there that changes one letter of popular websites. The only reason they picked those names is because they know people make mistakes, people who don't want to go to those websites.

    Maybe the solution is to take away domain names. No more letters. Instead replace it with phone number type domains. This kind of problem does not seem to exsist with phone numbers. I can't count how many times I have visited wrong websites, but I don't make incorrect phone calls.
