With regards to one of their rules which states something like "You may not use any Mark, or part thereof, in any domain name..." Does this mean that sites like NUKEM Group www.nukem.com is violating Apogee's copyright?
I just love reading these types of stories about Microsoft. This story, and others brought to light in recent years including (but not limited to the DOJ trial) prove to me that Microsoft truely does believe that it is not subject to the laws that us mere mortals have to obey. Since Bill Gates apparently believes that he is a god, I think he honestly believes that he is able to create his own rules and laws in the USA which will benefit only him. This type of underhanded tactics don't surprise. After all, just because you legally bought something doesn't mean that you should get to have and control it (at least in Microsoft's eyes).
