Unfortunately - that does seem to be the case.  I'm not sure if that is 
really a problem, though.
A lot of these domains were acquired as a defensive measure, and I am 
not sure there is currently a substantial problem  with these 'similar 
domains'.
Also, if a problem does arise, we have the trademark to protect the brand.
