A suggestion seems in order here for anyone not grasping trademark or copyright laws, either US or International, would be to go to your favorite search engine and search out the answers to all the things you don't understand.
Most countries tend to follow the ignorance is no excuse thing. And amazingly enough, the laws are very similar in these areas at least in bottom line meaning. If you still don't understand, hire an attorney to ask. Or it could result in "if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you".
Your tittering and elbow poking over things like this are all hilarious... until some newbie reads it and takes you as knowledgeable. (Or you convince yourself you know better.) Then goes out and reg's one that will put his butt in a sling. All in a days laugh tho eh? Sitting in other threads denouncing someone swiping a layout, and in another discussing ways to get free albums and yet another trying to grasp trademarks. Hmmm what is wrong with this picture?
A few more dollars in legal advice instead of the local nude bar might save you some serious problems down the road. I can ONLY imagine if someone took off on one your sites names or URLs. You'd be screaming for their heads.
