Hey!
just regged it, and the .org is already taken.
What do y'all think?

 

[interactive]

$50 cant see it going for much moreq

 

[dkny]

i saw it available, but didn't reg because it's not much useful. I'd say reg fee.

 

[peter]

Big Fart: Dont think the TM will be much hassle.

And, I thought it would be developed into some site about the NBA or something.

I definitely think i can sell it above regfee though.

Thanks to the guys who have posted

You're kidding right? The name alone will get you in trouble if you try to put it online - but it you make the second mistake of putting content about the NBA on it you will be paying your lawyer's bills until you are 65 (unless you just hand over the name gracefully when they come knocking on your door).

 

[peter]

alright, I am not putting anything on the site.

Anyways, selling it for 2 new names @ enom

HitDomains.com has NBAPlayers.com in their "Elite Showcase."

 

[peter]

yes, thats true.

NBAplayers is slightly better than team though.

And my god, they had some incredible names in their "elite" suit.
Thats money!

 

[TexasFilly]

would make for a great NBA fan site.. email services..
[email protected]

sweet catch..

we let DenverBroncoSite drop a couple yrs ago.. it's still available..

and
iDallasCowboys.com (might be avail.. we let that drop too)

goodluck!

 

[peter]

Texas; yeah thats true man! good idea, however, I dont think i should put anything up on it for reasons mentioned above

 

[TexasFilly]

if it's a free email service.. which serves the masses of NBA fans..
who would complain about that?

some risks are worth the taking.

goodluck!

what do you other people think?
Would I do anything illegal if all I did was to put up a reg page for email addys, and send the people who have them, newsletters about the NBA?

NBA team refers to one team.

Not a great domain, TM aside.

The fact is, if they want to, the NBA can come and take your name away whenever they want it. My company is currently working on a licensing deal with both the NFL and Major League Baseball. The NFL deal has been in negotations for almost 2 years! They take the rights to their names extremely seriously and expect anyone to pay up who wants to use them.

I see nothing but potential headaches in misappropriating names like these so I wouldn't go within a mile of them. Whether you want to spend any time developing and promoting something with that name that will be blown out of the water if they hear about it is up to you.

 

[peter]

OK.
Well if they give me a C&D I will give it straight up. No hassle

 

[Fearless]

I would have regged it if it was NBATeams .com

 

[TexasFilly]

"Living on the Edge"
is part of the 'entertainment' that comes with 'life'

'-) Goodluck!

For what purpose? Another porn site? I would thing GregR.com would be enough!

 

[RON2]

TM issue aside, the domain name would only be of use to a NBA Team, of which there are only 29 and they all already have good domains for their sites.


Still you could probably sell it for $25

I had NHLTeams.com and NHLLive.vom and was pursued by the NHL. I coughed it up.
