Additionally, these days, domain names are used as a unique name
of a product or service. Compaq the business has altavista.com
the service. Pixelsight.com is a product you can only use on the
net; there is no Pixelsight Inc. (just "Keith" :-)
The need for trademarks is sortof diminishing; they might
be useful in real life (TM) but in cyberspace you don't
need them as much; it's not like anybody else is going
to get altavista.com or pixelsight.com
Route around those TM geeks :-)
