Can they really enforce this? I mean, I have built a (virtual) boat model
right out of the LEGO idea book, and then made a rendering of it, sinking. So
what's more natural than calling it 'The Sinking of Regina Maersk'?

Do they have a trade-mark on the boat name? (I checked, there exists a ship
today called R.M., it's the worlds largest supertanker - they say)

Ideas anyone?

Well, if they hold the copyright (I am no lawyer, so please do not
confuse this with official legal council!), I am sure it is
international, they can protect it. Even though I really liked the
pov-ray version, I think they think of it as bad, not good, etc. You
might just want to rename the ship and page to sinking of the Brick
Company ship or something. Or rename it Mark instead of Maersk.
