Lots of times these people/organizations/etc have lawyers on staff... and guess what they do? They look for people to sue. I can't imagine why.
I had a very popular website once... was doing very well, had a name that was based on an English word that was also used by a big corporation (though this was not at all intentional, and the word was not the same - it was spelled, pronounced, etc all differently). I wasn't selling similar services, or selling anything, really...
But their lawyers came after me. And me being a college student, I had no resources to fight back so I just had to change the name/domain/etc. Did I do something bad or wrong? No... but this company has lawyers hanging around that are constantly trying to validate their existence and paycheck.
And thus the world sucks just a bit more.
