Meat Loaf claims Torkington -- who's based in the UK -- has no right to own or use the domain name, and is currently breaking the law by cybersquatting ... in violation of the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act.There's a law on his side, but I don't know what it allows for damages or the boundaries it sets for wording and disclosure, but taking advantage of people is a no-no regardless.
Meat Loaf wants Torkington to shut down his website and hand over the domain. He also wants $100,000 in damages.
Calls to Torkington were not returned.

Man Draws Attention For Impersonating Meat Loaf
A man has bought the web address www.meatloaf.org and has been impersonating the singer. Michael Aday, the man most of us know would do anything for love, has been trying to free up the name or at least stop the man from taking advantage of fans.
