There has been a long battle against a friend of mine and the owner of hisname.com (not the real domain). For him, I registered the .org, .net, and .info of his real name and put up a site on the .org and 301'd the others to the .org (along with nickname.org / .net, and a few others).
The .com was owned by someone who stole a lot of money from my friend and sold illegal copies of his book (he was out of the US). Neither my friend nor I had the money for a WIPO case (IMO it was a clear cut case).
Well, this other person didn't renew the domain, it went to NameJet and I got it (and they're taking their time getting it to me). My plans are to 301 the .com to the .org since we've has a long campaign telling people about the .com and how it wasn't him. We also have cards that show the .org on them.
My main question is, eventually, would it be worthwhile to make the .com the actual site and forward the other TLDs to it or just keep it as the .org? (A .com would be appropriate for him).
I don't think Google looks at the TLDs any different from each other.
