It's a hard-won reputation for value, one the Plaza's owners want to
protect when the company that owns the posh Plaza in New York City
opens a $5 billion version of their butler-hosting, tea-providing

"Last week, the association's property manager gave [the resident] until
the end of the month to rename the Web site, dissolve it or face a
$100-a-day fine, eventually resulting in a lien on his home."
