That's kinda silly, though. It's just three letters. I mean, what if there
was another company with those initials that was just as old and respectable?

Heck, what of www.boc.com? Should BOC sue them to get the domain? :-)

I'm not saying HW doesn't have a right to hawkwind.com, mind you, I'm just
wondering how much legal weight these arguments really have.
