I can't believe how many of you guys think he's gotta roll over!

"Gone Wild" is far too common in linguistic use in this country to be trademarkable in that broad a manner. GIRLS Gone Wild I see them owning rights too of course.... but to say ANYTHING Gone Wild they can stop - no fucking way. Might as well have ESPN News sue anyone who has NEWS in the domain. This is just like when sex.com tried to go after everyone with sex in the domain name.

Doesn't fly. You want leads to an excellent law firm on this, let me know. I've seen this fight a few times.

The only thing - as pointed out by a few guys is you can't go ripping their whole pitch and idea as well. I'm speaking strictly of domain name use here.
