Copyright Infringement?

A Man named Mike Rowe, when buying a domain name for himself, thought it would be funny if he added a "soft" to the name. The domain name then became www.mikerowesoft.com.
Microsoft sued him for copyright infringement.
Were they right?

um... this happened a year ago or even before

They werent right at all. Irrespective of intentions, he could take that domain as who asked M$ to pronounce it that way

Like an old age home shud be allowed www.tata.in or summat, where tata stands for grandfather....
