A website client asked me to buy a web domain that was the name of a book he once read. He wants to use that as a website to promote his business, which does not have the same name or have the name in any business documents or ads, etc. If we buy the domain, will a C & D letter come?
There will be no ads. He does want to discuss how the book inspired him. Any passages will be cited as to the source and a disclaimer would be in the t & c about how we are not affiliated, etc etc. Should we back off? is it trouble ahead? No other products or affillates will be on the site.
In sum, part of the site will be practically a commercial for the book. But other parts will feature fully independet work, for decades before the site creation. We might have a link to the press that publishes the book, if advised.
Has anyone had experience with this?
