A judge in Minneapolis is expected to rule Tuesday on a cyber-squatting case involving a South St. Paul man who is incorporating high-profile trademarked names in Web addresses for his pro-life Web site.

William Purdy Sr. registered the URLs and links them to his pro-life Web site that includes graphic pictures of aborted fetuses. This weekend, Purdy added clearly worded statements that the sites are not affiliated with the corporation included in the Web address, according to a broadcast report in the Twin Cities.

The domain names include mycocacola.com, mymcdonalds.com and involve other companies, too, such as Pepsico, the Washington Post, the Star Tribune and the Minneapolis Public School system.

Several of the companies have sued Purdy and are seeking a temporary restraining order to get him to remove the Web site.

The story first publicly surfaced in early July when Minneapolis school officials decried the link involving the district's name. Purdy set up most of the sites on July 4, and an attorney for the corporations suing Purdy said that even as recently as Monday he has seen new domain name registrations by Purdy, the Star Tribune reported.

The corporations said the sites illegally use their trademarked brand names to further Purdy's political beliefs.

Purdy, who is representing himself in the proceedings, said he legally acquired the domain names and the issue is on of free speech.

U.S. District Judge Ann Montgomery in Minneapolis is expected to rule Tuesday afternoon on whether to grant a temporary order to keep Purdy from using the names.
