Well the co.uk just indicates a company based in UK, but there have been many legal cases people trying to get their named domain back for instance Bruce Springsteen has ended up with .net and not .com because some dumbass refused to hand it over. He was probably offered a bit of cash for it too but it turned into a court case and the owner won. I find it a load of bollocks when you look at brucespringsteen.com now, there's nothing there. Great use of that domain name.
Luckily with the emphasis on search engines now it less of a problem but say 8-10 years ago this kinda stuff was a real pain in the ass I thought, you'd simply expect the .co.uk or .com of a famous person name to be the official site.
