Battlebots Battles It Out: TV Show Versus IRC

Posted by timothy on from the battle-of-wits dept.

Ender, Duke_of_URL writes: "Battlebots the TV show, has joined the ranks of Corporate bad-guys buy attempting to force out Battlebots.org, an IRC site that had registered their domain before Battlebots even filed for a trademark. As most of you know, in any dispute over domains it's the money that wins."

    Bravo! I find it sad that you don't feel able to express yourself publicly in this forum. Surely any reasonable person will agree that without our government the nation would be awash with drug addicts, poverty and crime.

    We'll always need that government too, what with the criminals and the junkies always flauting the laws by finding new drugs to get all goofed up on, and thinking of new ways to steal from us. It's a shame that there aren't more people who want to help fight the drug war.

    The next 2 decades will show the rest of the world what a force America has become. We'll be invulnerable to their ICBMs, our military research providing us with missile defense in a few years, and with incredible new weapons so we won't even have to risk the lives of our nations sons to fight their great evil.

    Long live the dollar.
