[QUOTE="accurate, post: 2347683, member: 322579753"] Do you think buying and selling celebrity domain names is ok? I've seen several .com FirstName + LastName get bought by investors and my feeling is always that's it's a bad idea. 🤦🏽♂️ I do recall [URL='https://www.domainsherpa.com/jeff-burgar-albertahotrods-interview/']this interesting DomainSherpa[/URL] with Jeff Burgar from Alberta Hot Rods. If you are not aware Alberta Hot Rods has gotten numerous [URL='https://www.udrpsearch.com/search?query=Alberta+hot+rods&search=parties']UDRP complaints[/URL] from owning celebrities .com domains. ⚖️ Jeff stated celebrities don't have any more legal rights to a domain name just because they are famous. I agree with that. Even if you are right, if someone has more money to hire lawyer(s)... not something I want to mess with. What do people think? 🤔 [/QUOTE]
