This is actually relativeily old news, but still:

"A Canadian teenager whose website annoyed Bill Gates' lawyers is giving it up in exchange for Microsoft goodies, including an Xbox console."

Lesson of the story? Always barter, there's a chance of making something out of nothing.

Posted this a while ago, but didn't know that he was giving it up.
Ah well, he shouldn't have though.

Haha. He should've gone to court.
All he's done is shown that he can't use his given birth name as a web address if it comes into conflict with a 'big-gun'. Haha. Prats.

heh, I'd have taken them to the cleaners, they can't just tell you to stop running a website, just because it 'annoys' them.

I would have asked for a load of stock in the company.

Brilliant! As usual the careful and intuitive production that Freeola puts into everything it sets out to do, I am delighted.
Wonderful...
... and so easy-to-use even for a technophobe like me. I had my website up in a couple of hours. Thank you.
