    My site is down :-( —Dennis Bosman
   My website isn’t on-line anymore. About a year ago I hosted my html-files on Jan-Tore’s account (www.legotrucks.com). Today I saw there weren’t any visitors on my site. When I surfed to it I saw the domain name doesn’t exist anymore L I haven’t (...) (21 years ago, 15-May-03, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)

     (...) It's not a good idea to have the word lego in the domain name.

      Soon we have a new internet provider. Than I have room enough to put my files on their server (no banners or pop-ups!). But that will take at least a month. Most anoying is that my page is linked from many other pages to (...) (21 years ago, 15-May-03, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)

         Re: My site is down :-( —Tobbe Arnesson
      (...) Perhaps not, but the Fairplay policy has this written about fan sites and I don't see any fan using an domain name like that :) (...)

         Re: My site is down :-( —David Eaton
     (...) Legally, Lego can't necessarily stop someone else from getting the domain "ThisSiteIsSponsored...Lego.com". However, in some countries (US at least, I assume many others), Lego has a copyright to their name. So they could take it to court and (...)

         Re: My site is down :-( —David Laswell
      (...) Yes they can. It not only blatantly contains the word "LEGO" in the domain name, but it makes an untrue statement of sponsorship, thereby encouraging anyone who casually stumbles across the website to assume that TLC does actually sponsor that (...)

       (...) You're not using a standard character in the second case there, so I can't tell what you mean exactly, but I'm assuming you mean TM.

           Re: My site is down :-( —Matthew Miller
       (...) The font (i.e. the shapes of Times New Roman) is fine. It's the character encoding -- which in this case is neither standard nor universal. The problem here is Microsoft -- it's one of their not-so-subtle attempts to subvert the Internet. (I'm (...) (21 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build)
     
          Re: My site is down :-( —David Eaton

          Re: My site is down :-( —David Laswell
      (...) Well, there is technically one way they can do it. They could spend gobs of money to register everything that you could possibly think of.

      (...) Yes, but TLC don't want it's fans to turn away from them so they will never hunt down all of us who have LEGO content on our websites.
