Moz has been copyrighted

I don't know if this site's been mentioned on Morrissey-solo before (it's not really that big of a deal), but there is a website I found via Alternative Press's web site called MozWorld. Apparently, it's some sort of "interactive TV" experiement, and has absolutely nothing at all to do with our man Morrissey! They even have a link that says "Contact the Moz" meaning, I guess, the company, not the singer. Why didn't Morrissey trademark his name! Does this mean he cannot call himself Moz any longer? This is taken from their site:

MOZworld Entertainment to Launch Interactive Television Network

ATLANTA- Today MOZworld Entertainment, www.MOZworld.com, announced its entrance into the broadband content market. MOZworld is poised to exploit the convergence of television and the Internet by providing Generation Y with a fully interactive, online television network. The Atlanta based company is a pioneer in the emerging high bandwidth content arena, with plans to stream original programming to the web in upcoming months.
...I wrote to them and asked if there was a Morrissey connection. "Just a coincidence," they said.

      they can have the name 'Moz'... or 'Mozz' (Score:1)
      morrissey has indicated before that he didn't like the name 'Moz' or similar sounding derivatives anyway because, "It makes me sound like a racehorse." (- The Face, March 1990)

      I have NEVER called him Moz. I've just never liked it. I read somewhere that Marr came up with that nickname for Morrissey.

      I don't know. I love the name "Morrissey", so I'll just stick to that. Might even change my own name to "Morrissey"!

        If I ever have a son, I do want to name him Morrissey. That is, in fact, the only reason why I'd like a child. Most people tell me it's an awful idea, though, to name a child Morrissey, which I understand, still, I'm very tempted..

        Oh, well, I'm the end of the family line, etc, blabla.
