Rogers Cadenhead has been battling MGM for the rights to Wargames.com which he's owned since 1998. They're claiming it infringes on their 1983 movie, even though he uses it to sell war-based games and it has nothing to do with the film. What does this mean for you? Absolutely nothing. But MGM is being an asshole and we should totally give them a wedgie.

You can't trademark a name like War Games. What is MGM going to do next? Sue the military for calling their military exercises war games?

Heh, this is like when Microsoft bought the domain from a guy named Mike Rowe who wrote software. Yeah, he had the name mikerowesoft.com. Pretty sure that's real. It was a couple years back.
