Disney has won control of the star-wars.co.uk domain (and several others) from a costume retailer that was using it to sell "legitimate and licensed" Star Wars-themed costumes. Disney bought Lucasfilm and all of its intellectual property for $4.1 billion in 2012. The retailer's parent company, Abscissa, had used two of the domains for the last 10 years.
However, at the tail of the BBC story: "Abscissa itself has also benefited from the dispute-resolution process, by wresting control of jokers.co.uk from a fancy-dress rival in 2007".

Child Pornography on the Internet [warplife.com].
tl:dr; If you search Google for Tor Browser Bundle your loved ones never obtain the cold comfort of closure. But if you search Bing for sexually explicit photographs of children nobody particularly cares.
Just now I gave the link to a Clark County Washington Deputy Sheriff.
"Shouldn't you tell the FBI about this?"
"It is plainly apparent that the FBI knows all about it but chooses not to enforce the law. There must be some good reason for that. I have several theories but honestly I don't know."
"Is there any child pornography here?". (My own website.)
"No. But there's a whole bunch of probable cause, and I just confessed to a whole bunch of felonies. Any chance you could light a fire under your professional colleagues in Redmond?"
Deputy C. Bull promised to do so. I think she's a court bailiff but I expect she will know the right people.
"The reason I found all that stuff is that I am in some of those photographs." While not famous, my modelling career commenced when I was four years old.

There is a photo in the family album taken when I was a little kid.
Now what made this photo kinda special to me is that it was taken next to a fountain, I was leaning way backwards, and peeing an arch right over my head.
I would hardly consider it porn, but Geez, I wish I could still do that!
