Phonetic Site Squatting?

Don’t know if you have seen or heard of this, but from the wsj (paid subscription required) Mike Rowe setup www.mikerowesoft.com. Microsoft took action on name infringement, and the outcome is Mike will be reimbursed for moving his site, get to go to a tech conference, and get help with obtaining Microsoft certification. Microsoft gets to keep the name Microsoft and the phonetic alteration of it.
