Story: Mikerosoft.ca magnifies Microsoft's PR nightmare

I wish we had Microsofts money! We bought several variations of our domain name having been Cybersquatted two years ago. Although it is illegal in other countries we had to buy our way out here.The squatter was in the same business and directed the .com version of our name to his site. It cost us a lot of money we could ill afford.
Now, thanks to the dilligence of a customer who found himself in the wrong site, we find another competitor has Typosquatted our name and has the .co.uk/.net/.com versions all pointed to his site.
How many more versions fo our domain name need we buy and when is there going to be some legislation in the UK?
