Legal expert: Daily Caller could be in trouble for Olbermann stunt

So what’s Olbermann’s next move? Schaefer says he has three options of varying intensity. On the lower end of the spectrum, he can send the Daily Caller a cease-and-desist letter, giving it five days to hand over control of the website and possibly pay him damages. The middle ground would be forcing it into binding arbitration, which the Daily Caller would have to comply with under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy, which applies to anyone in the world who registers a domain name. Or he could sue the Daily Caller in federal court under the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. “I think the Daily Caller would likely lose this across the board,” Schaefer predicts.
