I think it only concerns the domain name. Why shouldn't you use the word
'lego' to your folders?

Btw. my site also has the name 'lego' in it. Allthough I use it for more
than three years no-one screamed about it. And actually I didn't knew about
any fair-play rules. All people who contacted me about my creations didn't
asked if I'm sponsored or something like that.

The only thing I knew is that you're not allowed to use the LEGO logos. Of
course that would create a clear link to the LEGO Group so people should
think your site is really related to the group. The rest of the content are
just models and other stuff. If your site looks professional people can
imagine it's LEGO Group related.

The ironic part is that there is a link to the LEGO Fairplay rules on the
legolinks.com site. If you read the rules you will see the following • paragraph:


"The LEGO trademark should not be incorporated into an Internet address.
Internet addresses have become useful tools for people to identify the
source of a homepage. Using "LEGO" in the domain name would be creating • the
misleading impression that the LEGO Group sponsored the homepage. "

They specifically mention the domain name, but I wonder about the rest
of the URL.  Would something like the following be OK?

(...) Folders are OK. (...) I believe that's limited to logos that include the bright red LEGO logo, I'm not positive though. -Tim (22 years ago, 4-Apr-03, to lugnet.general)
