              Using "Playboy" in the domain name is a gross violation of their terms. When Playboy's legal department finds out about it - and they will find out about it - it will be shut down.

                yep, what he said!
                Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                think about that

                          You might want to tell our industry leader about this, they are still selling ads on the site

                              You truly are a idiot arent you? A prime example of how to rep a company.

                                yes you can use the words playboy.... it's no different than using the word toothpaste... a playboy (the noun) is different than Playboy (the magazine/empire)... now.. how you market it is different.. that's the key.

                                www-playboy.com.. you are fucked.

                                im-a-playboy.com... different... and most likely fine.

                                im-a-playboy-playmate.com... playboy playmate is trademarked... no way

                                shesmyplaymate.com.. good chance you are fine, as long as you don't ever address anything about playboy

                                shesaplaymate.com... probably not, even if your girl is a playboy playmate, they guard their stuff pretty hard

                                this-is-playboy.com.... tough.. probably gonna lose on that one

                                It all depends on the wording... then of course you have to distance yourself from the branding of playboy... so why choose the name in the first place??? the obvious choice is so you can cash in on it... therefore, you can't use it for that.

                                  Some people in this biz are pretty stupid, wtf was someone thinking when they registered www-playboy.com, the domain gets 0 type ins, isn't even worth the registration cost and obviously would create drama when playboy legal team discovers it...

                                    Absolutely true, I'll never understand why people get themselves in trouble this way voluntarily...risk vs. reward calculation is shitty.

                                          A girl once told me "Give me 8 inches and make it HURT".

                                          So, I fucked her twice and hit her with a brick.
