I have a question which is not meant to be rhetorical. What was the name of the website? I ask because I don't know, and the practice of "cyber squatting" has not received judicial support. For those who don't know, cyber squatting is the practice of registering a website with the name of someone famous (like GWBush.com) and then using it for purposes that the famous person does not support, or it is simply used to try to get the famous person to buy the rights to the website for lots and lots of money. One famous case I can think of involved Julia Roberts.

This may not be the case, but if the website was his name or some variation thereof, it was completely consistent with current judicial rulings to get the website shut down.
