It seems that he might have it registered.
All I can get from a WHOIS is this.
Netcat reports the following DNS error when looking up www.phatbox.com;
DNS fwd/rev mismatch: www.phatbox.com != celery.columbus.rr.com

On his site, http://www.netkev.com/contact.html it lists his email as [email protected].
Find any resemblence between the two domain names?

The real website for fatbox's company is www.phatnoise.com. Perhaps he wishes to make a little money is this gets popular which is why he might be motivated to convince people it's a good product.

Just my opinion...
