Spoof site no joke for eBay
A parody Web site called "eGray," which takes aim at California gubernatorial incumbent Gray Davis, has drawn the attention of auction giant eBay--and its lawyers.

From the BusinessWeek (News.com) article:
In 2000, presidential candidate Ralph Nader parodied MasterCard's "priceless" campaign, noted Neil Smith, an intellectual property attorney in San Francisco with Howard Rice.
Although MasterCard sued Nader's campaign, the court denied the company's motion for a preliminary injunction against the ads, Smith said.
Any challenge eBay makes against eGray is likely to meet the same fate, he said.
Good golly, they have no sense of humor.
