Multinational computer giant Dell is about to grind down Paul Dell, a UK
web designer living in Menorca outside Spain. Paul is running his own,
small business, creating web sites. Therefore, his firm is called Dell
Web Sites, and the domain he has is www.dellwebsites.

That's something he shouldn't have done, at least according to Dell
computers, who think the domain rightfully belong to them. Hence, they
have been after Paul for a couple of years, giving him no rest. Just
recently, they turned up the heat, suing him for 100,000.00 Euro in
damages (that's about USD 120,000.00) to be paid to Dell America. In
addition to that, Dell France (where he used to live/work and where
Dell's lawyers are working from) want 50,000.00 Euro (USD 60,000.00) and
then there some posts on 40,000.00 Euro and more.

Paul has decided to fight Dell as he simply want to keep his domain and
be left alone. He's not interested in any out-of-court settlements and
Non-Disclosure Agreements as the world desperately need public court
decisions in as many jurisdictions as possible, covering as many cases
as possible, in order to give us some guidance. Every private settlement
out of court will just leave the field wide open for the multinationals
to allow them harass and crush little guys like you and me.
