Legal Question..

[rawkinrich]

Are there any problems by registered a famous celebrity/sports persons name with the .info extension? I took a look at DavidBeckham.info, would that be a copyright issue, or what type of traffic do you think the domain will be getting?

Many thanks;
Richard

Depends what celebrity I would think....Defo problems with David Beckham I would reckon?

I have a famous celebrity .net domain, well he isn't that famous, singer songwriter who isn't really mainstream and not had problems with that yet.

 

[rawkinrich]

Do you get much type-in traffic?

Not really parked it anywhere yet to be honest as I was gonna develop it (But still will) but don't have time at moment, I'll park it somewhere soon tho and see what happens.

I have got a David Beckham dot com domain which is operated in a negative way towards the individual. Been running a little while, with a fair bit of traffic and no complaints from anyone. Hope that helps you in your decision.
