I wonder though; how can they be expected to police all misuse of their name
in a case like this? If they copyright legolandwindsor.com, what's to prevent
some knucklehead from using "legoland-windsor.com" or "legoland_windsor.com"
or even "lego-windsor.com"? Realistically, and in all seriousness, how can
any corporation, even an incompetent one, hope to guard against all these
permutations of its name?
