Default [OT] Where to find laws on the internet? Toys R Us Trying to shut down a site

Sorry for the utter and almost complete OT-ness of this post[1] but you lot are
always quoting bits and pieces from laws. Anyone any idea if the text to the UK
law relating to Trademark infringement and internet domin names is on the web?
A website I occasionally visit is under threat of legal action by Toy R Us
(http://www.ratzrus.co.uk/toysrus.htm), despite being non-commercial and not
about Toy R Us at all. We don't think that the trademark laws apply to
non-commercial sites but would like to make sure. Any other information would
be helpful if you've got it to hand - I assume this kind of pointless bullying
happens quite a lot.

Oh, to make it a bit on topic, my rat absolutely loves sitting on the handlebars
of my bike when I'm riding. It'll be wearing lycra next...








[1] If you're using OE then Tool, Message Rules, News, New. Then click the box
'Where the subject line contains specific words'. then select 'delete it'.
Click on the blue text at the bottom and type in [OT] (including the square
brackets). You'll never see another correctly tagged off topic post again :-)
