I looked up the site and while is is misleading, it does say that the names are looked up in their directory and can be found using their coordinates. Nowhere does it say that it's the IAU directory. Now Mattel is in on the action with them, selling star dolls with the registry option included. They probably had a good team of lawyers look at it. I do think they should have a disclaimer. However, inferrence is not implication.

Frankly I think any business should be prohibited from using psuedo-oficial names and terminology in blatant attempts at sleight-of-pen. I hate it when I get mail that looks like official government correspondence only like "RUSH, URGENT, AIRMAIL" and such when it ain't.

Didn't someone have a tax scam using the same IRS initials... didn't they get jailtime or something.

At least this one doesn't imply ownership, like lunar land grabs do.
