Childish Revenge - a plea for help
I've been totally done over by a company. They ran off with my money and disappeared, and I see that the bloke has set up a new company and registered it at companies house.

I quickly set to and registered his company name as a web domain or whatever its called. My questions are:

1. To a lawyer, can I get sued for this?
2. To a techie, can they find out who registered the name?
3. To a B3tan, is there something better than goatse I could stick on the guys brand new website I'm designing for him?

Heartfelt apologies for lack of funny and irrelevance, but I usually make an effort.

well
1.Not a lawyer, but they *might* have a trademark case against you (though it might be fine so long as the site offers nothing similar to their services, which also means no context based advertisements, and so long as the site is not defamatory or libellous (dont lie, dont insult them)) If the company name is (for example, for a plumbing company) Jeff's plumbing, and the site is jeffsplumbing.com you may have a bit more problem.
2.Yes they can, though provided they don't sue you on 1., getting them to pay you to get it back would be good revenge
3. redirect to www.deagostini.com.au/ilovehorses/

Revenge
1. Probably not for the reasons previous
2. Same as before, yes but not a lot they can do
3.Might I suggest tubgirl, 2 girls 1 cup or lemonparty.org how about some meatspin as well.

hit him in the wallet...
1. probably not
2. most definitely, using any of the "whois" lookup sites
(for example whois.domaintools.com/b3ta.com)
3. the goatse is a little bit obvious and easily detected. I would suggest something more subversive, like a re-direct to his biggest business competitor

No, yes, probably.

meh
1. hard to do if he owes you money, as such things need to be declared in that there legal place. If it goes to court, taking some kids that say he touched them 'down there' may not help your case, but it will pretty well destroy his.
2. I fling poo, what know I of this technomancy
3. If only he already had a website, you could match it perfectly, but introduce subtle phrases, such as 'blah blah bollocks is an ethical and environmentally responsible company, and to this effect, every thursday we drown 1,000 kittens'

I assume such things are possible, our web guy is quite happy to photoshop Hitler into company photos.

1) Very unlikely.
2) Only if you didn't set WHOIS privacy. Try doing a WHOIS search (http://www.whois.net/) and have a look yourself.
3) No.
