| | E-Commerce News: News: Madonna's Domain Name Crusade |
 | | The pop star who spent the better part of 15 years building her image is squaring off against Dan Parisi, a New Jersey businessman who grabbed the domain name before she thought of it, and for the better part of two years, used it as a stopping point en route to his pornography kingdom. |
 | | Unable to remember the name of Madonna's first child (It's Lourdes, by the way, and in case you're wondering, the domain name belongs to a Catholic hospital outside Syracuse, New York), she typed "Madonna.com" into the browser. |
 | | In order to win the right to own the domain name, Madonna the Singer will have to prove that Parisi registered it in bad faith -- that is, with the intention of piggybacking on Madonna the Singer's fame, if not stealing a slice of it outright. |
