How NOT to win a cybersquatting case

Thursday, December 15th, 2005

I came across an interview in The Gothamist today about author Ron Hogan. Hogan is author of “The Stewardess Is Flying the Plane!”, co-editor of Galleycat; and editor of of Beatrice.com.

One of the questions made me laugh:
Q: What prompted you to start Beatrice.com, and where does the name come from?
A: Actually, the site was named after Beatrice Foods, specifically the whole “Hi, we’re Beatrice” ad campaign. I always hoped that one day they’d decide to get themselves online and come offer to buy the domain name from me, but it never happened.

Talk about an open invitation to file a cybersquatting dispute!
