ScaryMovie4.com....Sold or Legally taken away?

[mattbodis]

I am big on buying movie domains and holding them until the movie is released in theaters. There was a point where I was willing to buy ScaryMovie4.com (which releases in 2008). This was a few months ago. But the owner wanted a bit too much so I said forget it, to myself.

Today I looked at whois history, and what did I notice? ScaryMovie4.com redirects to ScaryMovie.com and is now owned by Disney. I lost the old owner's email address so I can't ask him if he sold it to them or had it taken away by them.

What do you guys think? Would a domain like this be purchased or taken away via C&D? There are really no live trademarks for "Scary Movie" or anything alike, so what would happen in this situation? Maybe it is a good investment idea to buy movie domains if these companies would purchase from you later on? We all know they have good money to do so. :cheesy:

I'd be interested to hear what you think.

I thought about it and some pointless movie name registrations would include:

Saving Private Ryan 2
Rocky 7
The Return of The Passion of the Christ
Titanic 2

So I see you have mrspresident.org. I guess you're not holding out to capitilize if Hillary get's elected eh?

You'll just contact her and give her the name for free, right?

Actually there were rumours of a Titanic 2 where Di Caprio was found in an ice block and then thawed, dunno about the rest of the movie but sounds rubbish.

The Return of The Passion of the Christ

hahaha.... the story of Jesus coming back in the 21st century?:lol: :lol:

Guys stop getting off topic here, please. I really would like to have an answer to my question.

DnWizard why do you assume UDRP? Ofcoarse of I have heard it but that doesn't mean that every name in existence had a UDRP. Some domains are sold. Plus, how would a UDRP work if no trademark on Scary Movie? Come on, back your posts up, don't just post clueless answers.
