Actually, I think you are in luck on this one. I don't think you can
copyright a name like this. This is what tradmarks are for, and you can't
reserve them. They have to be "defended" to keep them, and I don't think you
can reserve them like that... So, chances are, at least as far as Apple is
concerned, you are safe. ;-)
