2600 Magazine Defeats Ford

Posted by michael on from the parry-and-riposte dept.

narftrek cut-and-pastes the text from 2600's announcement that Ford has conceded the case they brought against 2600 over a certain domain. Our earlier story has some background. A Volvo repair shop near me is named "Island Vo Vo"; the L is silent, you see, because Ford really sucks.

    Click the link. May not be the best "jump point", but the page contains a link to www.fordreallysucks.com.

    May be run by the same person.

  2. Ford had a point.. it happened to me once. by enjo13 · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Once, long ago (like '99;) ) when I worked in web development I was part of a simliar situation. One of our clients had recently dumped another designer (big nasty situation really)... The firm they had been working with was a pretty nasty bunch, but they had control of the domain being used by this company. Out of spite they pointed this domain to porn...

    I realize that the company in question was really dumb in giving control of the domain to this group in the first place... but it did create a credibility problem for them..and that sucks.

  3. I'm not a web page designer by interstellar_donkey · · Score: 3, Redundant

    But could'nt ford just as easily (and cheaply) put a little script in their page that checked for the refering web page?

    When it showed as 'fuckgeneralmoters.com' as the referer, simply redirect to a disclaimer?

    It seems that would be far more logical, save far more in legal fees, and would avoid any confusion.

    Again, I could be wrong.
