Okay, some of my "competition" wrote a program VERY similar to one I had written quite some time ago. I was pretty pissed for a while but got over it. I never did take any kind of action against them except for a maybe nastygram or two.

I was just browsing a list of expired domain names and lo and behold there they were. Expired TODAY! Needless to say, I registered the fucker QUICKLY! Their domain name is not a brand name or company name but rather a generic programming name that they can't tademark. Is there any legal reason why I could not redirect their old domain to my site? Except for being a tad unethical I can't see any reason why I shouldn't. Business is business after all.
