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."

    Sorry~~~Posting AC so the moderators don't ruin my excellent karma~~~ Twas the night before finals and all through the school, no cracker was studying, nor drowning in the pool. I came into class with a small bottle of dex, in hope that the brains of my teachers would crumble like Chex. A bitch named Rose walked in as everything was going swell. I giggled gleefully and laughed as she fell! Later, in comms, a retarded evolutionist named clara talks. I picture her holes all filled with black cocks. Ahoy, Ahoy, don't be listless... Have happy holidays, and merry GNAA Christmas!!!

    yes but apple.co.uk seems to be an actual business instead of someone registering every word under the sun to be an asshole

    One thing I wanted to try once to piss off Microsoft was to get a picture of some swarthy Latino guy with his shirt off, and post a caption saying, "This is Amil. Isn't he hot?"

    *sigh* I don't get it.
