OK... lets say I buy the domail
www.thentlcommunitysite.com.
I set up a vBulletin forum to discuss / slate nlt.
If I have a nice big visible disclaimer explaining CLEARLY that this site is neither indorsed by or anything to do with ntl, and provide a link to the genuine ntlcommuniuty site, what's the problem?
I can only see it as a problem if a user could percieve that they are at a genuine ntl site and not be corrected.
Now... someones example... Lets say Asda anounce home shopping. I register the domain
www.asdahomeshopping.com.
If I just leave the domain parked but do nothing else, this is naughty. If however, I immediatly launch the site with the nice big "we are NOT asda" notice and have a forum dedicated to the discussion of the pros and cons of Asda stepping in to the home shopping market, that is fine.
All I need to do is make it
very clear that my sitre is nothing to do with Asda / ntl / whoever and prvide a link to the 'propper' site.
I'd be prepared to take on *any* big company's legal team on this one.
[User Addition] I wouldn't be scared off by 'official' letters from big wig solicitors. I
know my rights.
