mikerowesoft網站上有著他和微軟一來一往的互動過程,
看不出所以然的請看我節錄自January 15/2004他發表的文章中的一小段話
I received an email from Smart & Biggar, Microsoft's Canadian lawyers, informing me that I have been committing copyright infringement against Microsoft. They told me that I must transfer my domain name over to Microsoft as soon as possible. I was baffled by this email, yet thought it was funny at the same time. Microsoft was going after a 17 year olds part time business that he put a lot of time into just because it has the same phonetic sound as their company.

我感覺這不是太可笑了嗎?
不論Mike Rowe到最後是否要求以利益來交換domain name,微軟的想法和作法都讓我覺得很差勁,
只准州官放火不許百姓點燈...況且微軟還不是官,它只是一間公司.....
就算它富可敵國,它大到可以賣下一個國家,但是在我的認知裡它終究是一間公司,就和我家樓下老王一樣,
不過老王賣的是麵,他們賣的是軟體,而老王麵店不會去告老汪麵店,但是microsoft會去告mikerowesoft

讀音接近也能算是侵權嗎？
這樣也成立的話實在太誇張了
蓋茲先生要不要順便要求全世界叫做Bill Gates的人都改名啊
