Although the kid put his foot in his mouth by saying on the news that he bought the domain because it sounded funny ( considering the name it sounds like )
I still dont think he was infringing OR that he would have lost in court.
If they didnt offer him something he felt worthwhile , he would NOT have settled. He was offered FREE court expenses by several prominent lawyers, so he wasnt worried about the legal costs.
I have had enough of these type of domains to have a pretty good understanding of how the law works , and i also know that nobody wants to fight these cases unless its the last resort.
I have been sued over domain names that "supposedly infringe on others" and have settled ( WON ) in every single one. They love to threaten you , but in the end , they understand its about the money . If they can save some by settling , they will.
