Well maybe. But they certainly don't say that!
And, to beat the proverbial deceased large solid-hoofed herbivorous mammal a
bit more, they _do_ say that what they're concerned with is confusion over
just who owns/sponsors the site. It only takes an elementary understanding
of the system to realise that lego.blah.org is something connected with
blah, not with lego. I hope that that is fairly common knowledge these days.
Back when they forced the legowww.homepages.com site to shut down, the
lawyers obviously didn't understand that. Maybe I'm giving lawyers too much
credit :) but I hope that with the explosion of the internet that's happened
since then, they have a better grasp now.
I think that most reasonable people wouldn't be confused. Maybe I'm giving
most people too much credit.
