Where's the great European Union to standardize copyrights across Europe?

I know IIIR have the initial claim to the name gmail but i can't see where that name was actually founded? like if i created davekeoghmail and someone else got there first i'm sure i could win it back especially if its found out that the name plays no relevance in the service. Personally i think its just a company trying to cash in on something that someone else wants. Maybe a court will side with the other company, but to be honest i think it will side with google

I wouldn't be so sure. Domain name squatting is a pretty big speculative market.
Just about any name that might be worth something is grabbed up, and some fairly famous people
have spent big money; and still not been able to aquire rights to their own name dot-coms.
When there's nothing but a spam site parked on them waiting for hits.

So if you plan on getting (even more) famous, you'd better register that name, now.

It seems GMail has had trademark problems in the UK now. I hope existing users can keep our gmail.com address, because googlemail.com... well... just sucks

What if I'm a UK user who already has a Gmail address? Will I also need to change that address?
No, this change doesn’t affect existing Gmail addresses. For now, our plan is only to issue @googlemail.com addresses to new users. Trust that we will do the best we can to offer all our users a reliable and consistent email experience.

Well,the domain @googlemail.com is applied on new users only! So there is no need to worry about.

Hope Google will change this for new UK users.

Noone will need an @googlemail.com address.

Firstly, everyone who doesn't already have Gmail will not change - I've asked loads of people.

Secondly, just say that you live in the USA and you get an @gmail.com adress. I tried this on hotmail to get an @hotmail.com addresss and it worked.

Nobody needs to worry.
