Facebook Spells Its Name with IPV6 Address (theregister.co.uk)

Clever, but will likely result in lawsuits over randomly assigned IP addresses which just happen to spell prominent trademark holder names. So, a "funny once" joke.


I'm actually curious given the massive range of possible IPv6 addresses whether this will ever be an issue? Would the chance of randomly getting anything resembling a trademark not be so low that it is a non-issue?


This isn't news


This was the first phrase that came to my mind.
