It would appear that multi-national giant Dell Computers is suing a small web designer by the name of Paul Dell for damages. Claiming he is engaging in "parasitism and unfair competition" Paul has been summoned to appear in Paris because of the name of his company and website www.dellwebsites.com. Paul, a Brit based in Menorca (a small island off the coast of Spain), is currently hoping, with the help of his friends, to raise the funds needed and fight the case. Donations can be made or CSS templates bought to help fund this ‘David and Goliath’ case.
This strikes me as absolutely ludicrous and it would seem Dell have completely lost sight of the meaning of unfair competition. Surely, I am not alone in hoping this case gets thrown out of court at a great cost to Dell?
I HOPE YOU WIN BECAUSE THEY HAVE MESSED ME ABOUT SO MUCH THAT IVE LOST MY JOB AND MY HOME. I BOUGHT A 160 GIG MACHINE AND THEY SENT ME A 80 GIG MACHINE. IVE BEEN AT WAR WITH THEM EVER SINCE – I HATE THEM AND IM GOING TO HAVE MY REVENGE ONE DAY.
