If we do like this:
void func(char *s1)
{
...
strcpy(s1, s2);
...
}
we will use more memory.

Exactly, so it was a poor choice since it's:
1. long to type
2. hard to remember (not always true, but most of the time -
http://ge.astrid.lindgren.nobelpriset.nu/ is easy to remember (a Swedish
sentance).
3. Rather unusable in advertisments
Therefor the chance that some web site owner chooses such a long name is
very low since most users will not type such a long address.
