McCann also registered the charity's name with the U.K. government agency Companies House, preventing Mitch from setting up a bank account and forcing the grieving former cabbie to return money donated by fans.
"We have to put pressure on this d---head who stole our foundation name," a none-too-pleased Mitch tweeted. "Our solicitors are all over this but it takes time."
His frustration prompted The Sun to track down McCann, who responded with some less-than-kind words of his own.
"I'm not exploiting anything yet," McCann insisted. "I've just bought some domain names. Anybody could have. It only takes the click of a mouse. I'm not ashamed or embarrassed. Detach yourself from emotions and think business."
"She's not the only Amy Winehouse in the world," he added.
McCann said he would "come to an arrangement" with Mitch if he apologizes for the online insults. He then hurled a few insults of his own, telling the newspaper, "I'm not the d---head. The d---head is sitting over there without the name in his possession."
We think the squatter doth protest too much.

Domaine squatters are nothing more than ticks trying to hitch a free ride. any fool with a computer can program out countless permutations of the english language and register them. If you don't use it ....you should LOSE it!

these days.
Wouldn't they want to make it Amy Winehouse Foundation.org? If it's charitable. That's how it's done here. For non-profits. I believe he was given wrong information. .Coms are for businesses. Something's wrong with this "story." And I'm sure the kind person who purchased the .org and the one who has the .com will gladly donate them to the foundation for a lovely tax write-off, kind people that they are!!! If this story is true, Amy's family and fans who have and want to donate should be spared any further grief. She was adored as an immense talent and a beautiful person.

Stealing the persons name from the family to prevent honoring the deceased. This man is truly the lowest form of life on this planet.

Just when I think that I have heard the lowest of the low, some sociopath comes along and shows me that there is still more 'low' to go. After a person with a unique talent is discovered, there is no longer safe ground for that person to exist. They are now a "star". Their world becomes clouded with greedy opportunists that look to capitalize off of the ground the "star" walks on and the air they breathe. The opportunists manipulates using their own evil talents to penetrate and poison the soul of the "star" . The manifestation of the poison all too often reveals itself in what becomes the "star's" best work. The work gets better and better as the poison continues to infiltrate the soul of the star struggling to cope with the poison. Just as it appears that the star is at the brink of burning at it's brightest, instead, it burns out, and leaves us forever with their special contributions, created during their shortened life. Alongside of that they leave us all asking the questions of what would have or could have been if only....
