Might makes right: A large US publishing company recently published
a book, recounting a woman's story of being seduced by an online child molester.
Their marketing people titled it
katie.com, without checking whether
such a domain already existed. As it happens, it did. Meanwhile, the
original owner of katie.com, a London woman named Katie Jones, found herself
inundated with email, much of it of an unpleasant nature, and forced to shut
down her web site. She complained to the publisher, who basically told her to
shut up or else. It is unlikely that she would be able to claim any damages.
