I know you're joking but Billy Joel registered his name as a trademark in the '80s.
Go HERE and try searching for "billy joel".

I'm only partially joking - I have placed Trademark symbols on the phrase "RetroBlast!" on my site, as well as claimed the phrase as my trademark on my "About" page.
This situation pointed out that I had a valuable asset (my site's name) just sitting out there, unprotected.
As to my own name, well, I'm already too late to get http://www.kevinsteele.com, so what's the point?

I 100% agree.

I think right now everything has been said and we just need to wait to see what the next action is.

I personally think email and letters to him stating your opinion as well as the other legal notices discussed here are reasonable. Hate-mail and other harassment are not IMHO.

Personally I think he deserves anything he gets (tho I think hacking his website could be more fun than hate mail ;D ). What he has done is not reasonable IMHO.
I'm still waiting for him to email me regarding my FE's logo - he'd better be quick I'm leaving the country very soon 8)
