Legally, Lego can't necessarily stop someone else from getting the domain
"ThisSiteIsSponsoredByLego.com". However, in some countries (US at least, I
assume many others), Lego has a copyright to their name. So they could take
it to court and potentially find you in violation of their copyright,
forcing you to shut the site down.
But if your site is something like "PutYourLegOn.com" or
"WhenAleGoesBad.com" or "FullEgo.com", and *especially* if your site content
has nothing to do with Lego, chances are a court would determine that you
hadn't violated Lego's copyright and would allow you to keep the domain.
In any event, Lego's fair play document just asks you to be considerate, and
think ahead. And for most Lego fans, that's enough. I'm sure neither Lego
nor your average fan wants to deal with the hassle and cost of a court case,
so *not* using "Lego" in the domain helps to ensure that there won't be any
problems.
