Unpopular opinion, but the judge was right. There would be zero benefit to society to reward this absolute cybersquatter. There’s an almost zero benefit to reward a corporation. Both bad, but the corporation should get it in this case.

How is a cyber squatter worse than companies who squat on other things like money or diamonds.
The man bought the domain and if lambo wants it, they can buy it from him.
How long until other companies start trying to get any domain name that is part of their name now?

Or the poor Italian guy Luca Armani, who registered armani.it in the early '90s for his rubber stamp shop.
He tried to keep his name in a lawsuit carried by the most famous Armani, and he lost. He also lost all of his money and his shop.

Details matter. In this case the guy shouldn't have kept the name. On the one you mention the guy should have.
Of course in both cases I am lacking full information. It may be biased sources are giving me incomplete information and if I had all the information I'd change my position.

I know the story of Luca Armani and I think it’s sad. He even lost his health because of this.
He should have just offered the Armani brand to pay him a good sum and that’s it. Instead, he wanted to fight for his rights, and he ended up losing.
(I honestly think that he was right, but the judge didn’t know anything about technology and the internet)
