I am with the courts on this one. eBay is buying someone's brand name (even if it is misspelled). This reeks of typosquatting. eBay is trying to take advantage of consumers and confuse them to sell products on their site. I think this is especially key since eBay would probably defend itself saying that it isn't responsible for the sale of fake Vuitton bags, it is the users. eBay shouldn't facilitate it either. That being said, the damages were probably enhanced because Vuitton is a French company in a French court. Lastly, I would end my comment by saying, "The French." Shakes head in <>. I don’t know.

Just because you control the naming rights to a product, I don't think that it should give you control of where people can buy it and for how much. I’m with google on this one (surprise)
