Also somewhat similar, the first large domain name dispute in Germany, in which a person called Andreas Shell held the domain shell.de:

German Original: https://www.heise.de/-55795

Close approximation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_v._MikeRoweSoft (this was not Mike from "Dirty Jobs" but a different person)
Yeah, but in this case MikeRoweSoft.com redirects to microsoft.com after the settlement. Uzi Nissan was able to keep his domain to this day, even after his death in 2020.
Man, litigating versus a 12 year old boy has got to be the easiest job in the business - "Will you settle for an Xbox and a bundle of games?"
Huh, having checked the wikipedia link (the kid was 17 not 12), that's exactly what happened!
12th grade, not 12 years old.
The Xbox offer still stands

Edit: I replied before I read the wikipedia link and learned he literally settled for an xbox.

First thing I did was check https://nissan.com which apparently I haven’t done in years. RIP Uzi!
