    I used to own Applecomputer.com for about 3 years and then Apple came after me with a slew of lawyers and threats and made me turn it over. They did not pay me one dime for it.

            boils down to a ton of things.

            if it comes to there attention that you are making money they could be making...

            ofcourse it would have to come to there attention.

            but yes.. if they want your domain be prepared to hand it over on a silver platter.
            want to buy this spot for cheap? it is of course for sale. long term deals are always the best bet. brand0n/ at/ a o l dot commies.

                I would think that Apple would go after (for example) ipodporn.com but not podcastporn.com

                "Podcast" has become a term for something that never has to involve an iPod or Apple at all and it would be more difficult for them to go after domain names including it.

                        The Anti-cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act of 1999 provides for statutory damages of up to $100,000 PER domain.
