G'day Guys,

I was sued by the Speedo Corporation (who owns that these days) for using speedo on my gay sites.

I argue that I use the word generically but understand them trying to protect it.

It was in civil court here in Australia and I couldn't afford to defend it. Lost the domain but took them two years and the free mainstream press I got was mind blowing. From memory had 10x joins when it hit the front page of the business section of the papers.

My business has always been structured to protect my privacy and assets so I didn't mind, if my name was on it not sure I'd want that kind of press though.

Dave
