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.

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)
