I agree. I tend to think of olympic as a large "thing" (for lack of a better word due to no sleep) or competition. And I think that IOC is full of money-grubbing morons, and it saddens me that people are so worried about anyone coming remotely close to threating an organization as large as IOC is, and I don't know that using the reputation of the IOC would be the best boost for business. I can see protecting your rights if someone is slandering you, using your name for impure purposes that could directly taint your reputation, etc. But forcing an ISP called olympic.net is rediculous. I know I'd be pissed as all hell if I had a business that I'd worked my ass off for 3 years to build up, and they forced me to change my name, I would be severely upset, and I think a law-suit would almost be warranted. But then if they ruled that ou had to change your company name, you might not win :/ Last point, what about the special olympics? As far as I'm aware, the two organizations are totally unrelated other than the name. Is the IOC gonna go after them too??? Rediculous.
