Or, it may mean:

        ...The IOC may legally prevent you from using SYDNEY2000 for any
purpose remotely conected with the Olympics...
        ...The Sydney Olympic committee may simply use another domain and
ignore you...
        ...INTERNIC may unilaterally revoke the domain based on its new
rules regarding disputed domain names and reassign it to the Sydney Olympic
committee...

I would think that each of the above would be more likely scenarios than
your making a dime from the domain name.

Cute stunt, though.
