	CNN.com - Microsoft takes on teen's site MikeRoweSoft.com - Jan. 19, 2004
		Rowe, a 17-year-old high school senior and Web designer from Victoria, has angered the software giant by registering an Internet site with the address www.MikeRoweSoft.com.
		"Since my name is Mike Rowe, I thought it would be funny to add 'soft' to the end of it," said Rowe.
		In November, Rowe received a letter from Microsoft's Canadian lawyers informing him he was committing copyright infringement.

	CNN.com - Microsoft to take over MikeRoweSoft.com - Jan. 26, 2004
		Mike Rowe, a 17-year-old resident of Victoria, British Columbia, has agreed to pick a new name for his Web site, currently called www.mikerowesoft.com, said Microsoft spokesman Jim Desler.
		Rowe said his son could not be interviewed Friday because he had to study for final exams.

		When Microsoft's Canadian lawyers discovered Rowe's Web site, they told him that he was infringing on Microsoft's trademark and demanded that he transfer the domain in exchange for $10, the cost of his registration fee.
		Rowe refused, because he liked the domain name and had spent money starting his Web design business, so he asked for $10,000 to "cover his costs" and contacted the press.
		Last week, Rowe's story was published all over the world, and Microsoft's press relations machine eventually said it had taken the matter too seriously.

	Microsoft lawyers threaten Mike Rowe (17) \| The Register
		Microsoft, with its case bolstered, declined and Mike heard no more until 14 January when a 25-page letter and book were Fed-Ex’ed to his house explaining why he would have to hand over the domain, stating he had intended all along to sell the domain for profit and that his domain would confuse Microsoft customers.
		Well, Mike is reassuringly candid and although we have not seen Microsoft’s letter and the company has yet to confirm or deny its threats are real, it seems to hang together.
		Unless Mike is a first-rate hoaxer, it would appear that Microsoft really has lost the plot and is trying to extend the already flawed domain dispute rules into hitherto unexplored territory.

		For Rowe, who lives in Cow Hollow when he is not out filming, it's all in a day's work, but he never loses sight of the fact that he's got a job to do as well: to put on an entertaining show.
		Rowe also co-hosted the '90s show "Romantic Escapes" for the network, where he traveled around the country with a female co-host creating the illusion of romance in exotic five-star resorts.
