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.
