Ok now at least this time Jerry does have some remote legs to stand on. I think if the guy simply picked a more clearly parody themed name he'd be better off.
Falwell later sued Cohn in federal court in Virginia, contending that the Web sites were libelous and an instance of illegal cybersquatting. That lawsuit was dismissed in March on jurisdictional grounds. Falwell was threatening to file suit in Illinois.
Falwell said that after the Virginia suit was dismissed he and his lawyers discovered the name Jerry Falwell had been trademarked with Falwell's talk show "Listen America" several years ago.
That trademark was key in getting Cohn to surrender the domain names, said Jerry Falwell Jr., general counsel for Falwell's Thomas Road Baptist Church
yeah he slapped a trademark suit on him
**rolls eyes** Jerry man can't you take a joke?
