To add to my point -- you know all of those people using "brick" as part • of
their site names? Well, "brick" is a registered trademark of several
different organization. Any one of these, by the logic of "no trademarks • in
domain names" could (and perhaps should!) make these sites change their
names. (Probably to site14155645, because that won't violate anybody's....
oh wait, "site" is a registered trademark of Hub Distributing Inc. So I
guess that's out.)

Intel tried it with 586 I belive. They couldn't get a trade make so they called
