Apple Threatens iTunes.co.uk Owner

Posted by timothy on from the all-wide-eyed-innocence dept.

derxob writes "According to The Register, Apple has accused Benjamin Cohen, the 'dotcom millionare' of being a 'cybersquatter.' He registered ITunes.co.uk on Nov. 7 2000, and Apple trademarked ITunes on Dec. 8, 2000. They have taken him to the UK registry Nominet and are demanding that he give up the domain."

    Well, come on, this guy knew Apple was going to register it. Has this guy done anything with it? No. He should sell the domain for a small fee, like $100K and be done with it.

    Well, I guess you are new here?

    Anything related to Apple here is worshipped by the Apple zealots. They are 10 times worse than Linux and Windows zealots. There is not one single thing with Apple that is negative. Apple is by definition great, no matter what they do.

    Saying Apple is better than MS is like saying Botulism is better than rabies.
