can you use a university name in a site name, or is that asking for trouble?

like, for example hardvard. could you call it harvardcoeds.com and get away with it?

I few years back I had a webcam on a site billed as a dorm cam, and the girls had some NYU paraphenalia in the background.
NYU sued for 110million. It wasn't fun.

did they win the case?

We just stopped that cam before it became a lawyer war. At the time we were doing stupid shit just for free press, even if it was bad press. Usually things ended up so we had to pull content and not discuss the particulars of the cases, but it was worth it at times to get on the news and shit.

I use a mix of bought and free content, but let me tell you... churn out variations for a few hundred schools and spread 'em on some AVS systems and you could make a mint.

For shits and giggles, here's another lawsuit I got stuck into:

Sorry for the threadjack

wow, that sounds like fun.

akfk, not a bad idea, but i'm not really ready to dump a bunch of money in another site just yet, i've got too many projects to finish at the moment. maybe when i get those done. not a bad idea though.

i was just curious about a specific university i have a good hookup in, and i'm not sure as to that it hasn't really been "explioted".
