I find it difficult to believe that the use of a same word...ie the word exchange...in a domain name can open one up for a lawsuit but some claim that this is the case.

In other words I find it difficult to believe that if a domain name resembles another in any way (ie certain words)...even if they are dealing in the same "product" that one can be sued or forced to give up the domain name...but some claim this to be the case.

If this is the case why do domain registrars sell derivitives of registered domain names?


Does anyone know of a link that explains the legalities of domain names.
The hun is full of cucumbers
but If I was him I would say the same thing.
