Jimmy Buffett Filed a Lawsuit to Get Website Shut Down
Apparently some guy was using Jimmy Buffett’s trademark to sell goods on a website he owned. I couldn’t get the site to work, so maybe it’s already been taken down. This isn’t the first time the site owner, Robert Akard, has had one of his sites shut down. He had another site, parrotsofthecarribbean.com, shutdown by Buffett as well, which is kind of scary because that means this guy has nothing better to do then go around ripping off Jimmy Buffett. According to the AP article, Akard is trying to sell some of the products with a markup as high as fifty-percent, if only we were all so lucky.
