Chris Bosh is happy about winning his lawsuit against an Internet Web site. Earlier this year, Bosh was in a legal battle over chrisbosh.com, which used his name and likeness in numerous ads. Bosh filed a suit against the "cybersquatting" company for using his name and images to generate revenue without permission. Bosh won the suit, plus $120,000, ownership of the domain name and custody of more than 800 Web site domains named after professional athletes. Now, he's giving all those domain names to the athletes they're named after for free.
"I am thrilled that I am able to offer the return of these domain names to a host of other athletes and celebrities whose names were cybersquatted," Bosh said in a statement to the Associated Press. "I will offer the return of the domain names free of charge."
Through his Internet consulting company, Max Deal Technologies, Bosh has released the domain names and is asking the athletes to come forward to claim them. Some of the athletes on the list include Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire, Andre Iguodala, Eddy Curry, Carmelo Anthony, and Caron Butler.

Thank you my brother for sticking up for yourself and going all the way. I hope your lawyers didn't take all your money to settle the case. But I admire you for your strength and courage.
