    Question about domain names

    Hello,

    So I have a question about domain names. I have a site relating to Microsoft and it has the word Microsoft in the domain name. I make some side cash from this site. It's a hardware review site. Recently my friend told me I can be sued or inprisioned for using the name in my domain name. I've been up at night worries about this. I have quite a bit of traffic on the site that took years to build up. Can I be sued for this? I mean if they were to tell me to take down the site I would but I really don't want to get in trouble for this.

    Anyone had any issues like this?
