What if a Japanese person, who knows nothing of the company, made a website with "atari" in the title? I don't know if it makes a difference if the site creator is located in the US or where the website host is located, but it's all still nonsense in the end. Why can't they just be a decent company and offer the guy some money to claim the URL?
