,If "Planetside" isn't in the title they lose out on a bunch of name recognition that is mostly "It could have been awesome if they didn't X,YandZ"
But that's certainly better than no name recognition.

I don't understand this "colossal waste of money" thing at all. Domain registration costs like nothing. Nor does sending a cease and desist letter when you've probably got a fleet a lawyers on IP protection anyway.

Anytime you use a lawyer, you are spending money... and not chump change either.

As someone pointed out, you don't even need a lawyer to enforce copyright and trademark law on domain squatters. Which makes anything to do with a lawyer, a colossal waste of money.

Er, I'm sorry? I just assumed they would have their legal department handle it.

In the case of a company like SOE I have to disagree.

These folks have Lawyers on staff, they are doing this shit all the time as well as every other legal issue going on within SOE or whatever company.

In other words, the Lawyers for large companies like SOE are already on the staff they aren't paying anything different by using them for situations like this.

Sure they have lawyers on staff, but not for minutiae like a web domain.

Thats exactly why a company has lawyers on staff. You think they want to pay outside lawyer prices to handle shit like that? There's a couple lawyers in my family, so I get all the stories.

*shrug*

I think we already covered the part where a lawyer isn't even necessary.

Then lets get to the fact: Who cares?

Topic. NAme of the game will be Planetside: Xylophone War.
You will play by using a new Sony Keyboard to Xylophone adapter. The better you play, the more kills you get.

I was more hoping for Planetside: Pan Flute War, but I'll take what I can get.

Yes, this is to combat the issue of having a similar-sounding domain name end up being a portal for porn or something.

....redirecting to Big Boob Bimbos! have credit card ready!

Yeah...no.
