Keith Urban Sues Artist Of Same Name Over Website Domain

Keith Urban, the Australian country singer who defines mediocre, has sued Keith Urban, an artist who happens to own the domain name keithurban.com. The musician, who was born "Keith Urbahn", has little chance in this case. He would have to prove that the artist is intentionally trying to deceive his visitors into thinking his is the more famous man with his name. At this point, he's just using his site to sell kitsch artwork.

What I really like about this lawsuit is that the country star will end up paying lots of money in legal fees and will probably walk away without his precious website. In the end, he'll probably offer way more money for the website than it's worth, thinking he's the next Jesus and his website is the place everybody wants to visit. I wonder if they get internet access in drug rehab.
