Padding Out the Accomplishments List, Lawyer-style

posted by Zed on January 19 2004 22:24

Microsoft’s lawyers either think people are stupid enough to confuse mikerowesoft.com , the website of a Canadian high school student named (wait for it) Mike Rowe, with a Microsoft site:

It took a while for Microsoft to come after Mike Rowe Soft, but on Nov. 19, Rowe got an e-mail from law firm Smart & Biggar, claiming he was infringing copyright and demanding that he transfer his domain name to Microsoft. […] Customers of Microsoft could also be confused by the mikerowsoft Web page, the letter said.

or maybe they’re just really, really desperate to justify to MSFT the value of retaining them .
