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."

    Someone should point out to Apple that Nov. 7 2000 is a smaller date than Dec 8 2000, case closed, Apple go home.
