   They've only now realised that google.co.za exists? What a load of bull. Sad way to gain attention...

   Surfing a sure sword of Damocles. Screwed if you don't report it, even more screwed if you do. The surge of PR-motivated legal actions now means that this is becoming a weapon in every half-turned-on PR muppet's armoury. What to do? Ignore it and no-one realises that this is happening and the cost of frivolous lawsuits continues. Pay attention and help 'encourager les autres'. Bad news any which way it goes. Maybe there should be some sort of co-operative effort to kidnap botnets from the bad guys and use them to attack the attention-seeking litigators. Anyone remember 'The Equalizer'?

    Wow, what a hate towards Africa in the comments here, as if the US doesn't have trademark trolls.
    
    Or do you think you have a Monopoly(r) on trademark trolling?

    Nice work - most dumb Americans only try to alienate one nation at a time, you've taken down an entire continent. Impressive.

    Maybe Google should do like Dell and Intel are doing with Psion, wind up their own lawyers and sue back.

    Let me tell you, being a South African myself, I am somtimes amazed at the ignorance and stupidity of my fellow countrymen. Not only does South Africa have some damn smart people, but we also boast some of the most stupid the universal gene pool have to offer. This is definately a publicity stunt as these guys have been around since 1989(?) without building a major brand awareness. I hope Google gives these guys the hiding of their lives - and kick them out of their site listings :)

    Did you name your game room before or after Google named their company? If you named your company first, I could see why you might be irritated at them suing you for trademark infringement. If you named your company second, then I have no sympathy for you.
