]What happens if a 'rival' or as the Northern Irish and Skynews press like
to
]call it 'splinter' user group starts up, surely they have as much right to
]the domain as yourselves!!
Indeed, but we have already paid for it, so tough luck to them.
In the case of something like /windows.ie/, or /fuinneoga.ie/ (sp?), MS
would have reason to say that they own trademark and would probably win a
court case to get it back, but in the case of linux.ie, we asked the
trademark owner if we could use it, and he said yes. More, he said yes to
us before he said yes to another hypothetical splinter group.
