No, the Other Bosman
Several years ago, I had an idea for a paper that was based on a coincidence. The first case to be litigated under the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (for domain names), and the test case challenging the transfer system for European football players, involved men who shared the same last name.

The American Bosman was a player in a market for domain names that the UDRP largely closed to free agency, by tilting it heavily in favor of trademark owners.
I never wrote the paper, which is probably just as well. The parallel doesn’t really work.
