IANAL, and I'm just speculating here, but the law could have been termed as "copyright laws apply to domain names on the internet" (i.e you can't use the name of a brand you don't own in a domain name), and acme.service.at is a domain name, but service.at/search?q=acme is not.



That would be trademark, not copyright, by the way.
