I think trade marks and patents have killed innovation in this day and age, and I'm a firm believer that common words or phrases should not be able to be trademarked.
Maybe you guys can get Lars to kick in on the legal fees because I'm sure the torrent site is advertising AFF and Cams ads..

You cannot trademark common words and phrases... but you can take action against confusion of trademarked words and phrases...
For example, we have the trademark "Homegrown Video". We could not trademark the term "homegrown" by itself but we can go after anyone that uses Homegrown + another word or phrase that describes anything adult entertainment related. So, for instance, we can't go after something like "homegrowntomatoes.com" but we can and do go after things like "homegrowncuties.com" or "homegrownamateursex.com".
Respectfully, I don't understand why you or anyone else would have a problem with that.
