domain guy:

If I’m not mistaken, the plaintiff can be held responsible for the legal bills of the defense, provided the defense wins and the plaintiff was shown to have filed the claim in bad faith. (I could be wrong)

If it were only the domain, this would not be worth Mike going to court over.

But; as already pointed out up comments; if he let’s it stand, it could make such claims easier to win against others of his names.

As I’m sure Ari and Mike are already discussing, should they decide to take it to court, they might as well include a challenge to their trademark.

Though that would be a tough argument to win, by threatening their valuable TM, it might in the least bring them to the bargaining table.

And saying he’s a “domain name trafficker”?

What is that; like a drug trafficker?

That’s not only crap…it’s smooth move crap.
