And why shouldn't they offer him $10. Just cause they are Microsoft doesn't mean they should pay more than fair market value for a URL name. And he DOES have a web design business. If he is running a business then 17 doesn't matter. He intentionally uses the name cause it sounds like Microsoft then wants $10k for the url name. If I were MS I'd raise an eyebrow myself. Plus, at the time, Microsoft maybe didn't know he was 17 or believed it. I don't understand what the attitude is that just cause some company or person makes a sizable amount of money that all of a sudden means its OK to charge them more or take advantage of them. If Microsoft had taken Mike Rowe and used that, wouldn't Mike Rowe also have the right to defend his name?
