"So, for example, if a user typed in a web address whose domain name had
previously been linked to illegal activity - eg dodgysite.com -"

I thought I'd check ...

dodgysite.com is up for sale at $2295.

I wonder if it has been linked to illegal activity and, if not, if the

In the absence of some unexpected double meaning, I doubt a judge will
be easily convinced that suggesting something will live up to its name
is defamation.
