Out of hand by whose standards? Yours? Lisa's? If it was that important to her, she would have tied it up already. 2. BTW, the domain name is still available. They were yanking your chain...

(lisagermano.com, lisa-germano.com, germano.com ...) That's a novel way of taxating the famous.

ObLisa: During my Saturday shopping, I walked past a small café playing the OP8 album (the one with Lisa on it, of course) . It really made my day :-) You've all got that gorgeous album, right? Does anyone know if OP8 are any good _without_ Lisa? (I'm skeptic to bands with male vocalists.)

Here's the answer!] Abuse.misuse of someone's name and image is rampant, and it is not just a phenomenon of the Internet. It has been around a long time. And how is having a fan site with that name misuse? By being a crappy site and misinformative? Well, crappy is crappy. But if they are purposeful in the misinformation (malice intended), then it doesn't matter if you are famous or not. You should take action against those that are harming your good name. For $70, I own www.tobolski.com...big freakin' deal. And that is for 3 years. And I ain't rich. It's just that none of my relatives are as goofy as I am to register www.tobolski.net, etc. And if they or someone else does...fine! Just don't slander me or my family in the process. We can handle that ourselves! ;) My guess is that someone(s) on this list right now are scrambling to secure www.lisagermano.com, .net, .org for their own right now. And for all the R "right" resons, I'm sure... TLD is off topic for the list? What the heck is off topic for this list? Not much after reading it for the last several years... Care to discuss the musical and visual merits of Heather Nova? See? Kjetil Torgrim Homme wrote: > [Marc Tobolski] > > > 1. Out of hand?
