Jerry Falwell Wins Dispute Over Fallwell.com

Posted by timothy on from the thus-saith-the-court dept.

setzman writes "According to this article from CNN, conservative minister Jerry Falwell has succeeded in shutting down a web site run by a gay activist on the domain fallwell.com. The judge said it was 'nearly identical' to the registered trademark 'Jerry Falwell' name and was likely to be confusing to Web surfers." (This was a Federal case, held in the 4th Circuit Court.)

    No it's not. Please cite a quote from Falwell where he says those things.

    Here's what he's really said - he belives homosexuality is wrong behavior and he has criticized the Disney corporation for "Gay Day", not for their open employment policies. He also has claimed that God may be allowing terrorists to attack America because of our evil works. His beliefs harmonize with the Bible, so if you think the Bible is all hooey then that's fine, but don't claim he just has these ideas because OMG HES A B1G07!!!!!11
