Re: Stern's Achilles Heel?

[Dib9@aol.com]

Howard Stern has the legal right and obligation to his business associates to 
protect his trademark in the marketplace.  I am not a Stern fan, but I bet he 
is much more concerned about a website using his name to get visitors than he 
is about the parody.

 According to an article in the New York Daily News, Stern's lawyers 
 have sent a "cease-and-desist letter to the creators of 
 HowardSternDivorce.com, insisting they change the name of the site." 
 The lawyers are also calling for the "transfer of the site's domain name 
 over to Stern's company."
 
 Although Howard personally agonized on the air about his situation on his
 radio show (when the separation was announced), seems that Howard is
 deeply disturbed by online discussions of his impending divorce. >>
