Hi
I did metion the phone call about the domains
It was : www.legotechnic.co.uk
In which, was my mistake, and i belive there is no legal action taken agaist
me beacuse i am giving up the domain of www.legotechnic.co.uk to lego
without any hassle.
So Lego are watching you, do not use the word Lego in you domain. It really
shouldn't be used as a sub folder in you domain as well
So Lego do treat their TM very good, so don't do what i did, or you will be
in alot of trouble
If anybody is interested i have a new domain of : www.technic-uk.co.uk ,
which is not affected by the fair use
Hope this clears a few things
--
Michael
