Knowledge, Learning, Community
A law student sets up a website - lsulaw.com - and the law school it describes - LSU Law - sues, objecting to the domain name and suggesting (probbly inaccurately) that people might confuse this (clearly labeled) site with the real thing. The courts have come down with a mixed bag of rulings in similar cases, so there is hope for both sides. But it strikes me as a pretty frivolous lawsuit, one that creates more bad publicity for LSU than a little website ever could (some people never learn).
