So I saw someone selling a bandname domain.

Few questions

1 - Is their copyright issues involved in owning a domain of a famous band like that??

2 - Is it worth buying domains of famous people bands?? They worth anything/get good search results etc?

For example their is a .net domain available of a famous singer songwriter, is it worth getting?

3 - Would it make any difference to copyrighters if the domain had a slah in the middle, so instead of famousperson.com you would have famous-person.com ? (Change famous person to any famous person :])

Thnx

Also I just found a .com domain of a famous English comedian, would it be worth getting? Not like he is worldwide known.

Thnx

I also got told to read this

http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/com/speeches/h1554gb1.pdf

On it, it says anyone registering someone else's name will be up for libal action, but then I have seen people registering famous peoples names and selling them on all the time?

Not sure whether to register the ones I want to register, one is a .com of a English comedian other is a .net of a singer/songwriter who is fairly well know but not mainstream wise.

I would register it if it draws traffic for you.

Well I went ahead and got the singer songwriter one, he isn't mainstream but should get some traffic, he's been about a while.

I also registered a famous ladys name with 'pictures' at the end, so it was famousnamepictures.com.

I think they should be ok.

I also want to register a .net domain of a German actress who should make it big in Hollywood next year, but still not sure on that one or the English comedian one.
