Mr Oxford University accuses Oxford University of murder

Cybersquatter on the offensive

An Australian man has changed his name to Oxford University in a bid to settle a domain name row with the esteemed uni. The self-confessed cybersquatter, formerly known as Doc Seagle, has taken legal advice and reckons he'll be safe from any legal challenge by the academic institution. Other sources claim Mr University - Oxford to his friends - will lose his claim to the domain, according to AustraliaIT. But the man who lives in a tin shack in rural Australia is adamant about his chances of winning claiming that he's being bullied into handing over the domain. "You'd think that Oxford-University (UK)... SHOULD KNOW BETTER than not to register the dotcoms -- just as any competent person opening a local business knows to register the business name with authority before opening and advertising," he writes on his Web site. "After nearly a thousand years of operation Oxford University (UK) STILL can't get basic concepts right, it seems!" But if he's worried about legal action on the ownership of domain names wait until Oxford University - the academic institution - checks out his Web page. For Mr University, it seems, has an axe to grind. He writes: "There are few, if any, 'Absolute' facts, so, not understanding this, people are often inclined to appeal to an 'Authority' as to what reality is, rather than be bothered to work it out. Oxford University, the snobby institute in England, has often been that authority -- and has often used its authority to hide truth and MURDER those that disagreed. "The present institute appears proud of this and still thinks it can get away with fooling the British government and public into paying vast sums of money to maintain its 'Elite' membership." He continues: "As to my recent Would-be oppressors - Oxford University (UK) and its cohorts? ... well -- I see them as still very much 'remaining prejudiced to serve only the rich and famous'. "The whole educational system is still as shitty these days as it always was - as seen by the above "Unbalanced fight" and "Steam roller" approach to those with any differing views. No one from Oxford University - the uni - was available for comment by press time. ® See Also Mr Oxford University's Web site Oxford University's Web site
