A suit brought by Ford Motor Company against 2600.com founder Eric Corley aka Emmanuel Goldstein for setting up the Web site fuckgeneralmotors.com to re-direct surfers to the Ford home page has been dismissed.
The decision came in two parts: denying Ford's request for an injunction, and a ruling that without grounds sufficient for injunctive relief, nothing remains of its case.
Originally Ford had accused Corley of three violations under the Federal Trademark Dilution Act (FTDA): trademark dilution, trademark infringement and unfair competition, and sought an injunction against fuckgeneralmotors.com until the matter could be decided before the bench.
