    Not sure why others are defending the defendant here. He was just a cyber squatter who had no ties to the name Lambo until after he bought the domain. His only goal was to resell it to Lamborghini for a profit.

      I mean, if we are going to capitalism with a straight face we have to start being the whole bitch.

      He owned it, Lamborghini wanted it… that made it a valuable asset that he held that Lamborghini should have paid for

        it’s easy to see it that way when a big corporation is involved, but average people and small businesses get fucked by cybersquatters too.

        On balance I tend to side against the cybersquatters. They are not providing any value to anyone, just leeching dollars from the economy.

          We’re not talking about an individual, we’re talking about Lamborghini. I think cybersquatting Lamborghini is fine.

            You have to think one step beyond this specific instance. Laws apply to everyone consistently.

            So do you want to let cybersquatters fuck everyone just for the sake of fucking Lamborghini? Or is it better to get rid of these leeches who are providing no value to anyone but themselves?

      Not sure why anyone would defend a large corporation for any reason, ever.
