 Dear LEGO / 5032 (-20)
  Re: Grey zone debate wanted! (was: Lego in subdomains, legal or not?)
 
Judging by the reactions (or lack of) to my suggestion to move the page to a subdomain called l3go, I guess it'll be ok... Or is it? Last chance to complain before I commence the moveingprocess. Cheers NB (20 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)
 
  Re: Lego in subdomains, legal or not?
 
(...) What about www.lego.si ? There is a company called LEGO d.o.o. (d.o.o. would mean I guess Ltd. - Limited responsibilites) in Slovenia... Saso from Slovenia (20 years ago, 16-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

(...) I know how serious you are when it comes to your acrimony over the color changes, and so I shouldn't have made light of it in the first place (but how could I resist? You are such a character:-) FWIW, I think the decision was a unmitigated (...) (20 years ago, 15-Dec-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)
 
  Re: Robo Platoon MOC's
 
(URL) These are great Chris. The use of those pnumatic tees is awesome. Hopefully awesome enough to convice Lego to incorporate them in some sets in similar fashion....cough cough I am particuarily fond of the red one. (it's the sword, I'm a sucker (...)

  Blue baseplates
 
Dear LEGO (Hi Jake!)- Now that 48 x 48 blue baseplates are in production (the Glendale Galleria LEGO store has them built into for-sale tables), it would be nice to buy them separately! (We recently needed 18 48x48 blue sections, so we bought 18 x (...) (20 years ago, 14-Dec-04, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

  Technic Pin Joiner Perpendicular Bent (44809)
 
Any plans for adding this to any of the Technic Accessory Packs? 'Technic Pin Joiner Perpendicular Bent' (44809) They are extremely useful in Technic Structural creations but are extremely hard to come by. (20 years ago, 13-Dec-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)

  Re: Shop@Home Nightmare! (from a now ex-AFOL)
 
S@H is to expensive in Australia. I prefer to buy from EBAY in the US and pay the additional $30USD shipping. When you add $40 AUD to the price of a purchase and it's still cheaper than S@H, you soon learn not to bother. (20 years ago, 13-Dec-04, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Standard LEGO RCX firmware
 
Dear LEGO, I understand that ROBOLAB, which is sold directly by LEGO, includes a version of the RCX firmware which has not been made available as part of a Mindstorms SDK or as part of the RIS 2.0 software nor has it been made available to the (...) (20 years ago, 12-Dec-04, to lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Grey zone debate wanted! (was: Lego in subdomains, legal or not?)
 
Well, I believe that that big grey zone is there because the people at TLC is just as uncertain on how to place the boundary as we are; not to terrorize us with having a secret boundary to sit behind anxiously waiting for the opportunity to punish (...)

  Re: Lego in subdomains, legal or not?
 
(...) I disagree - both about using "l3go" and about greater restrictions. Pushing towards an edge means that TLG will need to delinate it more clearly - which means less grey area. as for the "l3go", i think your average user would think something (...)

  Re: Lego in subdomains, legal or not?
 
Hello Niels, (...) To me a name as l3go seems like getting as close to the edge as possible. Prehaps it's just (bearly) enough to be legal (but I'm not even sure about that), but it's certainly against the spirit of the rule. Looking for the edge (...)

You'll notice the dead trademark is for computer game rights. They obviously decided a jack stone computer game wouldnt sell. [should probably change follow up but no idea where it should go] (20 years ago, 10-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: Lego in subdomains, legal or not?
 
(...) Hi Jake, thanx for your comments but there are still some unclear points: "lego" as a word is clearly registered by the company and therefor cannot be used in domain or subdomain names. But "lego" as part of a word should not be registered in (...) (20 years ago, 10-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: Lego in subdomains, legal or not?
 
(...) Pretty interesting reading in the search, glad the name JIM SPACEBORN didn't stick around. Jack Stone might have died but they relisted it later as Live, so it's still here to stay for a while. jt (20 years ago, 10-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: Lego in subdomains, legal or not?
 
(...) What about OGEL, 0931, 1390 or such? These are not their trademarks, at least I haven't found them on USPTO. You can search their trademarks here (URL) enter 'Kirkbi' and 'Owner name'. Heh, I've seen there: Jack Stone - Dead. ;-))) Jindroush (...) (20 years ago, 10-Dec-04, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego)

Dear all First of all I'll thank Jake for settling the question wether lego in subdomains is legal or not. Secondly I'll thank everybody (and especially Michael) for taking the time to explain why: Being immersed in the busienss of domain names and (...)
