What kind of precedent does this set in the UK and is there potential for appeal? As you can tell, I'm not familiar at all with the British legal system.
What is the UK law on trademarks? I could see this being a potential trademark issue in the US, but not a copyright one.
"I'm not familiar at all with the British legal system."
In London, you can get arrested, as a pedophile, simply for taking photos of children, on the street, who aren't your own. That's pretty much all you need to know about the British legal system. Oh yeah, and the best attorneys are the ones with the most expensive wigs.
EDIT: Speaking of copyright: "On 13 January 2012, a [UK] judge ruled that O'Dwyer [the kid behind TVShack.net] can be extradited to [the] US. The Southern District Court in New York has charged O'Dwyer with conspiracy to commit copyright infringement and criminal infringement of copyright. Each charge carries a maximum sentence of five years."
