Cyber Law Journal: Does a Parody Site Go Too Far? (NY Times) One day about seven years ago, Michael T. Doughney was driving his car when he saw a bumper sticker that read: "People Eating Tasty Animals." The slogan -- a subversive swipe at the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, widely known as PETA -- struck Doughney as extremely funny, he said in a recent interview. It also planted a seed in his mind. The following year he was the first to register the Internet domain name "peta.org." He soon posted a Web site called "People Eating Tasty Animals" at this domain that mocked what he considered to be the extremist views of the animal rights activists. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/05/11/technology/11CYBERLAW.htmlReceived on Fri May 11 2001 - 17:20:56 UTC
