The score at the bottom of the article is hilarious. I used to own a Maxima and I would always go to Nissan.com only to find a semi-funciotnal "computer" repair shop. It was extremely frustrating, but the sites main goal right now is is to bring light to the lawsuit that the owner is going against. I don't even know if anyone even makes any transactions on Nissan.com.

I could swear that I remember a time when nissan.com had more stuff (ah, here we go: https://web.archive.org/web/19961221205004/http://www.nissan...). He's not a domain squatter; he owns a legitimate business and got nissan.com fair and square. I imagine that at this point he's been driven half-mad by Nissan Motor Company's legal harassment.

I really, really hope that a judge delivers the car company the smackdown it so richly deserves.

Why not just sell them the domain? Is the car company not interested in simply paying him a couple million for it? Or is he demanding something ridiculous like $50 million? It would be interesting to know the inside scoop.

I wonder if they ever tried to buy it, or if they were straight to threatening him with legal action.

If anyone's curious: http://nissan.com/

Their website really undermines their cause. The 80s called, and want their BLINK tag back!
