Yes. And so are MANY other big brands who make sites, who clearly have no affiliation to the brand, stop or change their names.
Apple, Canon, T-mobile (for the use of the colour magenta...), Microsoft, there are countless companies who do not seem to get that communities can be valuable and silly stuff like this is detrimental to the company's image.
I guess that is what you get when legal departments are too much detached from the business itself.
