However in this case we really can’t do anything unless you have enough resources or money.There should be some copyright kind of thing which can make sure of these.Or best is buy those misspelled domain ro anything that looks same.A little costly but can be effective.

@Thilak: I guess he has love of many fans(925 readers is not less i guess), may be not as much as JC or problogger but people quite know him because of his work.And Bloggers did love BB, it might just take time.One cent from me…”neutrality is the best option thats played over the internet, just know th game”

Hmmm…. I’ve had a couple of businesses before where we got trademarks, etc. I’ve also seen large companies break solid contracts and say “you’re a little guy, realistically you have no real practical recourse”.

Not to be a downer on this… but I think the short answer is that there’s very little protection for little guys against the big folks EVEN if you’ve right. You may be on solid ground if you trademark however. Otherwise not much luck.

The big guys like Google have staying power and lots of laywers on staff, who have nothing better to do than deal with your case. You simply don’t have the money and the bandwidth to fight it – unless of course it REEAALLLYYY matters. And in the end what are your goals?

You can be really sure AOL will be calling you very soon after setting up that domain – specifically the good folks at AOL in the legal department who have nothing better to do than work on YOU.

Of course sometimes you’re way to small for them to care. ORRR as a prominent blogger you may actually have quite a lot of PUBLIC PERCEPTION CLOUT to actually cause some sway… but legally I don’t think you’ve got much to work with. Only the “PR department”.

Have an awesome day!
