Default YAHOO sueing 1800 people for their domains!
I have a friend in Egland with a domain name "yazoomail.com" which he has had for 2 years and make regular use of - he has just received in the post a letter notifying him that if he does not HAND the domain over to YAHOO immediately, and for NO financial compensation, (not even the cost of the domain name registration,) he will be sued in court to force him to sign ownership of this domain over to YAHOO! In addition, he received a list of 1800 other people with similar domain names who are ALSO being threatened with legal action if they refuse to GIFT to YAHOO their private property! WAHT does everyone think of THAT??? BOO YAHOO I say - if this goes ahead, where will it stop? This is bully-boy extortion and surely it must be illegal? Or is nothing illegal if your chequebook is fat? here are some other domains being sued for: btyaho.com, e-yatoo.com, careyaho.com, boyyaho.com, djyahoos.com, yah-uu.com, yahpgosi.com, sbcatahoo.com

Ok this is scaring me. Even fuggen MICROSOFT, who have been dragged into countless Anti-trust lawsuits, had the decency to offer Mike Rowe, the previous owner of MikeRoweSoft.com, a free X-Box and a lifetime pass to all Microsoft screenings.

And here I was thinking that M$ was the largest devil on the Intar Nets XD

That's only after a HUGE campaign backing Mike Rowe in both the on and offline media You can be sure they wouldn't have offered him that package if it had receieved no press.

probably a horrible attempt to high jack his domain. If i was him i'd wait for the "offical court papers"

Even then yahoo doesnt have much of a case against him.
