"Yet would the actor brad pitt still have been able to sue had the site been owned by brad pitt the mechanic? hmmm..." That's usually handled as a different issue by the courts. Nissan, the car company, just a few days ago lost a big case against a guy who had the word "Nissan" in his web site address because his name really WAS Nissan. If the cybersquatter's legal name really had been "Brad Pitt," he probably wouldn't have lost. -jjsemp
