I hope your lastname isn't Dell...
 

Dell seeks damages from man called Dell

Web designer Paul Dell is asking for donations to help him defend himself against legal action and a claim for damages from computer maker Dell, Inc.

Paul Dell has been summoned to appear before the Tribunal de Grande Instance Paris because he owns dellwebsites.com. Paul uses the web address to publicise his web design business, but is accused of parasitism and unfair competition. Dell America seeks €100, 000 in damages, €50,000 for Dell France, plus another €500 for every mention of the word Dell on his website.

Bizarrely, Dell, Inc. tried to take similar action against Paul Dell in 2002 but walked away when he refused to cave in to pressure.

Paul Dell has owned and run the website since April 2001. He also runs dellimages.com where he sells his photographs.

Dell, Inc. was unable to comment at press time.

If this trial goes through the world will implode.

My grandma's name is Dell. eek:

ed: holy shit, just for having the same name!



really brings up the paradox of "What's in a name?"

wow....just wow. Another example of big companies going after the little guy.

Exactly, plus Dell sucks so much cock (im talking about the business)

Anyway wtf does a web designers website have shit to do with a computer manufactuerers website?

now i feel bad for having a dell...wait, no i don't, I got a $1500 computer for $1200 by buying dell.

thats fucking pathetic. there is no way they should be allowed to get away with this

annoy:

my name is frank

Ok, so this Dell guy's buisness is based in Spain. He no where on his website mentions or comes close to mentioning Dell Computers, He looks 100% legit and he recommends firefox to all his clients.

Fucking wankers - What is their problem? Honestly....Why would they risk losing customers by being so pathetic?

I'm not buying Dell again.

If a jury finds him guilty then there is no god

similar circumstances...

Pure greedy evil Dell. Of all the money they make a day they're chasing this guy for such a relatively small amount, they should be fucking ashamed of themselves.

I've already swore never to buy Dell again after my last PC so this just reinforces my opinion of them. Scumbags.

$$ is life.

This is how the USA was built.

Deal with it.

Dells own.

plzdie:

I hate you so much right now.
explain oOo:

Big Business...Trusts...shit like that...having certain companies basically own a monopoly of certain things.

It's Capitalism...

\
your retarded

my last name is Brants, does that count too? oOo:

no, Pyro's right, besides the monopoly stuff, we've made lots of laws to keep those from happening as much as physically possible, but he's right that capitalism is often greedy and America heavily encourages it.

I have a Dell and it's worked fine for me, but this is stupid, they won't win unless there is something more to the case that we don't know.

And there won't be a jury, it's a civil case, I'm pretty sure they're decided by a judge(s)

call it whatever you want, im not buying that dell monitor i was going to get now.

dell monitors are sweet.

You could have probably gotten it for $850 if you had built it.

imwithstupid:

There are better ones

yeah, but that would have been disastrous, overall, it was probably a better idea to just pay for it than try to assemble it myself considering the hassle and the limited amount I know about building computers.

Indeed, this is why companies like Dell are in business happy:

They wont get a penny out of me. I told my gf i would build her one, because her dad got a dell last year, and overpaid for it.

does she know your battin average with computer problems?

depends what you want but for what they sell they are among the best
