    Kind of interesting, Google has run into a trademark problem in the UK. 'GMail' was already a registered trademark in the UK for a private email service, so all UK Google GMail owners will have their email address changed from name@gmail.com to name@googlemail.com

    Copywrites, love to hate them.

    That's good. I think people can get around this problem pretty easily though by just signing up as living in the US or some other country. I'm sure Google knew about the trademark issue in the begining, why they tried to ignore it I have no idea.
