through fault of his own (he leaves it until the end of his rant), Smith's major contention is that he went through major difficulty to inform nike of what was going on, then they asked him to point his dns at their server, which he did, then they asked him to do the MX record as well, which he did, then millions of hits later he sent them a bill, and they were like "no sorry, we're not paying".
so unless he actually created the situation in the first place (possible - this guy tried to do business with amazon.com when he fired up amazon.gr a year or so ago) i reckon he deserves to get a cheque from nike for his trouble!
plenty of activists including s11.org would have loved to have seen 46 hours of nike email, which smith helped nike to get back into their grubby little hands by pointing his dns servers back at nike.com

Maybe Wordpress could offer tools to help users better manage updates. Firefox does a great job these days.
