Greed was hia downfall, nothing else. He started by listing it at 1 million, but then kept refusing bids to buy and kept raising the price up to 75 million.
Greedy bastard got what he deserved.
Comment on Judge hands Lambo.com to Lamborghini after ruling owner acted in bad faith
cubism_pitta@lemmy.world 4 days agoI mean, if we are going to capitalism with a straight face we have to start being the whole bitch.
He owned it, Lamborghini wanted it… that made it a valuable asset that he held that Lamborghini should have paid for

if we are going to capitalism
Nobody is for capitalism, except as a derivative of classical liberalism. Capitalism might be useful as a tool in economics, but so is the "spherical cow" useful in physics - you can learn a lot but need to be careful as it doesn't apply to the real world.
Since nobody is going full capitalist we can ask what liberalism things - and that is a branch of philosophy much more complex than just pure economics. In this case Lamborghini is entitled to their property, which we know is their property because the Lambo guy was acting like it was - in many other domain cases there is at least some doubt.

it’s easy to see it that way when a big corporation is involved, but average people and small businesses get fucked by cybersquatters too. On balance I tend to side against the cybersquatters.

We’re not talking about an individual, we’re talking about Lamborghini. I think cybersquatting Lamborghini is fine.

except laws have to apply to everyone equally.

I wasn’t talking about any laws. I was talking about one specific cybersquatter.
