I was watching something on CNN, Movie side, and actors, whose "name" IS
their trademark are having their "names" taken by "cybersquatters".  The
actors would go to "register" their name b/c they just discovered the
WWW and low-and-behold their name is taken, they go to get it back and
joe-cool who thought ahead and registered the name, is willing to return
the name for a profit.

Above scenario was mentioned on CNN movie scene, actors included 3rd
Rock from the Sun cast, and several musicians.

And CNN tied ALL of that to the "cybersquatter" bill and how GOOD it
would be for actors... :)
