[Infowarrior] - Palin's lawyers clueless about DNS

[Richard Forno]

At least do you basic research before going after someone?   
Oh...right; on the Intertubes, if you're feeling wronged, it's shoot/ 
flail first and then figure out why your strategy isn't working.    
*cough*MPAARIAABSA*    He yanked the "site" (aka DNS redirect) down,  
but I don't think he had any legal obligation to do so.  Then agan,  
IANAL.



Sarah Palin's legal team doesn't understand DNS

A reader writes, "The person who owned the domain CrackHo.com set it  
up to redirect to Sarah Palin's website on the Alaska state site. No  
one used the site, but apparently someone got upset: Palin's lawyers  
sent a cease & desist, claiming that it was misuse of the Alaskan seal  
and copyright infringement. Note, that CrackHo didn't copy anything or  
use any of the content. It was just a simple redirect to the Alaska  
website."
