I bought a domain name that was set to expire. I got it through pool.com. A home shopping channel sent me a registered letter stating they have been using that "word" on their channel for years and because of that they had legal right to seize the domain from me. They weren't even the original owners of the domain.

I laughed and proceeded to register the .net .org .tv and .us versions of the domain. They made a couple of small offers to buy the domain which were more of an insult to me. They kept telling me that the offers were an attempt to settle the issue amicably and they weren't required to do that. I'm sure getting their law firm to send that letter cost them more than the offers they made me. Eventually they gave up and went away.

I still have the domains...and haven't used them for shit. :D
