A couple of people have already given some good legal advice (like Kevin
Loch).

But when it comes down to it, they're not going to risk huge court expense
and bad pr by actually doing anything about it.  I would give them a nice
friendly "screw you" myself. :)  But that's just me, I don't have much
patience for corporate bullying.

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?
