Except he misses the part that .web isn't a 'pending' TLD in any legal sense (this was before the courts, so why he missed it is a mystery). Then he and other .web owners go on an ICANN message board and argue in favor of their non-disclosed self-interest.

He's a lawyer. Today he'll find out who registered business.web and other names that mirror existing sTLDs so he's one happy camper.
