If the owner had purchased the name prior to Jackson's death, or can show any relation to anyone else named "michael jackson" or doesn't have a website already up in conjunction with "the" michael jackson....he's probably free and clear. The Lanham Act is where this falls if disputed through ICANN, and it's unfortunately not so easy. Of course, what kind of fool would pay 5M for the domain anyway? Business.com sold for more, but I can see the reasoning behind that one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
