In "Aimster loses domain-name battle with AOL"

Andrew Weinstein saying, "We regularly take action to protect our trademarks and
intellectual property,"
One of the many laws they seem to break:

2.
Abuses of dominant position (Article 82)
Article 82 prohibits the abuse of the
dominant position of a company which negatively affect the trade between Member States.
2.2. What are the prohibited practices under Article 82?
c) Abuse of intellectual
property rights
The mere existence of a patent, trademark or copyright is not
sufficient to establish a dominant position.

In
my honest opinion, AOL claiming they are protecting their own trademark (which legally
has to be unique) - is a lie.
Any of you cowards dare answer that charge?
