Misspelled public figure domains [QUESTION]

bump
someone must know something about this

you are in israel, you dont have to obey shit

Lmao

Well the President doesn't have copyright to his image. That's why you see all this Reagan crap for sell now. They don't need permission. Why wouldn't domain names also apply?

I guess this is correct for senators as well?

Not sure about that.

IMO this question cannot be answered clearly.

F.e. when it comes to a politician name, he could probably win in some court in a case when someone registers a typo of his name.

But this depends also on the court, f.e an US court could have a different opionion than WIPO etc...

Domains names are such a relatively new thing that different institutions may have different opinions on it.

And even when f.e a politician could win in court, they would sometimes probably prefer to buy a name silently, since they prefer to spend a few k on a domain name, rather than seeing headlines in the news that Bush people are suing a school teacher that registered www.georgebuhs.com

Remember, also during this capmaing, someone had the domain name www.georgebush2004.com and the Bush people offered him like $100k to buy this name...probably they also knew this was a simply way to get this name fast, since in a court it would take a few months. ( the dumbass declined their offer
).

Btw, I replied here, sicne you linked your thread in my thread, but you shouldn't think that I am the person who knows everything about domains. It may be that what I just said is wrong, and f.e Taboo or Dombuyer could tell you more.

Most of what you said makes sense to me. I would definitely appreciate additional input from Taboo, KRL, Dombuyer, or any other big player and I appreciate yours as well.

Well it was an ANTI Bush site. I suppose he thought he was serving a purpose.

Anyways maybe I should snap up jebbush2008.com

It's already registered

ok, here's a bump 4 u

You go on the death row within a month or two...
