Parody with a domain name

The American Civil Liberties Union filed court papers last week in support of a man who runs a Web site critical of the Reverend Jerry Falwell at fallwell.com (Falwell's official website is at falwell.com). A federal court ruled in favor of Falwell, saying the domain name was "nearly identical" to the registered trademark "Jerry Falwell" name and was likely to confuse Web surfers.
Apparently ACLU's brief is not online yet.
