Was reading this: Keith Urban sues Keith Urban over website. 07/02/2007. ABC News Online. Some painter who happens to be called Keith Urban and who registered keithurban.com is being sued by Keith Urban the singer for trademark infringement and cyber-squatting.
In the lawsuit, Urban, who married Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman last year and who recently ended a stint in rehab for alcohol abuse, claims the other Urban’s website is being used “in a manner likely to deceive the public into believing that the website has a connection to Plaintiff that does not exist”.
At first, I was like “groan”, but on checking it out, Keith Urban (the singer) has a case. It’s pretty deceptive for a gullible consumer. All the guy had to do was stick a little disclaimer that he wasn’t THAT Keith Urban and I’d be completely on his side (but then there probably wouldn’t be a lawsuit), instead the front page has a very suggestive “To Those Who Don’t Know, Oil Painting Is One Of My Hobbies.”
Here’s a screenshot:
