Nissan sued the guy(named nissan) for infringement so I think he got pissed. Notably his small computer shop(bearing his name) predated Nissan operating as Nissan(vs. Datsun) in America.

Similar things -- peloton.com is not the smartbike, chopt.com is not the salad place(but a sailboat sales company).

Why wouldn't the inventor of Peloton have just come up w/ a name for which he could obtain a .com domain name?

Dropbox was successfully got the domain by suing the original owner. That always bothered me.

After the owner filled it with ads for competitors.

So what? It is his property and he has any right to do so.

Chopt appears to sell primarily commercial powerboats.
