Have luck in landing "One word" domain?

I don´t know if it is an urban legend or what, but sometime ago, I heard a guy registered the word "español" and nobody can use it, since he was asking huge ammounts of money just to end it. So, the websites that want to use it for their Spanish version, they have to use "espanol" without the little symbol over the n. One of the examples is CNN, because even though they are "CNN en Español" their url is "cnnenespanol"
Again, I´m not sure if it is just one of those urban legends!
