Based on your post, no. I don't think you did.

Legal issues, changing your name, and claiming URL's and saying Jar Jar in

I did not change my name, and register jarjar.com either, Eric. Theses
examples are different, and not a lot of innocent fun. It is just fun, maybe
he should be a good sport and give it back, providing LEGO pay the fees for
registering it, what, $70.00. His motivation was bad, his actions were
questionable, and I think TLC had a legal case, and the court decided, even
though some people might think it is fun to do this.
