Hi.

Ok lets say there is a big and famous site but domain name is nothing branded, but just simple words. Lets take hospitalityclub.org as an example. Words like hospitality or club are simple words.
What if somenone creates similar/same site and name it hospitalitybuddies.com or hospitalityfriends.org etc ?
Could they shut it down? I mean that would be obvious that new site want to bank on that famous name. But on the other hand hospitality and club are just "regular" words.
