CNN: Microsoft has come to an agreement to take over teen’s website Mike Rowe, a 17-year-old resident of Victoria, British Columbia, has agreed to pick a new name for his Web site, currently called http://www.MikeRoweSoft.com, said Microsoft spokesman Jim Desler. Mike's father, Kim Rowe, confirmed that his son had struck an agreement with Microsoft. Rowe said his son could not be interviewed Friday because he had to study for final exams… In a posting on his Web site earlier this month, the teen said he received a 25-page letter from Microsoft informing him he was committing copyright infringement, and threatening legal action... Desler said Friday that Microsoft believes it's important to take steps to prevent widespread infringement of its name. But he conceded Microsoft's original approach was "admittedly maybe impersonal." http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/internet/01/26/mikerowesoft.settle.ap/index.html
