Intentional Tort

Emily Watts, who lives in Alaska, had an idea several years ago. The people would get tired of cooking and would soon try to find ways to stop cooking at home. However, everyone would still want good food without going to restaurants. They could not afford that every day. She came up with the idea to start a blog on how to eat healthy but do very little cooking. She wanted to free people of the task of cooking as much as possible. She obtained a domain name of "MeCookNoMo.com".

Mr. Spoon had a large grocery store chain in Florida, and would search the web for blogs about food. He liked the idea of MeCookNoMo.com and had his attorneys contact the registrar of domain names which was called Connected Life, Inc. When he found out that Ms. Watts owned the name, he wrote a letter to Connected Life, in which he stated that he was Ms. Watts' uncle who had bought the name from her and just needed to get the registration changed. He even created a false contract of sale and forged a signature for Ms. Watts. Connected Life just transferred the domain to Mr. Spoon without getting in contact with Ms. Watts.

Three years passed until Ms. Watts blog followers emailed her and told her that a store in Florida was making a lot of money with "MeCookNoMo" readymade meals using instructions and ideas from the website, MeCookNoMo.com. Ms. Watts sued Mr. Spoon, who quickly declared bankruptcy and left the country. So now she is suing Connected Life for conversion of her property in the domain name.

How will the court decide this case and what issues will it discuss?
