What did Nissan do to the guy that had the first right to the domain name?

Quick, go out and register Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi.com
What could possibly go wrong?

This looks bad for Nissan, but Jalopnik in their typical lack of professional style, went with the story after they only got one side. It's no more than a proxy bitch for Uzi Nissan against Nissan Motor Company. I suspect that both were pig headed throughout the ordeal. If he had asked for $1million (instead of $15M) and settled for $500,000 in 1999 (more than his computer business would ever make in years based on his two prior failed businesses) for a few minute transaction, and registered NissanComputer.com back then, everyone would have walked away smelling like a rose. Instead, they wound up hitting eachother over the head with large hammers for 8 years.

Both Nissan the company, and Nissan the individual were piss-poorly advised on this one!

And, if the final judgement came down in 2007, why is this a story in 2018?

I hate citizen "journalism".
