Beware, it is a trademark. Since you are asking the questions, I presume you have a feeling... I would drop it now, before putting any effort in it, that will be lost. ![]()

Penthouse was a word long before it was amagazine. I would look into it before I gave up a decent domain name like that one.

Duh! Why don't you make them an affiliate? Contact me & I'll put you in touch with them. [email protected] - If that doesn't work then forward it to an exsisting legal teen domain. But, then again, what do I know? I'm just a newbie here but not to the biz.

Stay away from the domain name.... A couple of years ago we owned some domains with the word penthouse in the name and the Penthouse lawyers came after us.... Long story, but if you do not feel like dealing with legal fees do not buy the domain name. They probably will get their lawyers after you if their trademark name (PentHouse) is used. just my ![]() |

They will challenge it. No doubt, at least when you have some traffic / SE visibility for it. So, it's not worth of effort. I had same situation with Playboy's "playmates" word, which was a part of few domains. I decided to shut down these sites finally when I got a letter from their legal dept. and after short chat with my lawyer.

Wow! someone has a deathwish. Penthouse is trademarked for "adult entertainment". Your intention is to put out something confusingly similar, therefore you are a trademark infringer and the fines can hit up to 5-6 figures. Sound worth it? |

![]() Kevin,
Good thing you asked. If you or anyone else develops a site at TeenPenthouse.com, you will hear from our lawyers. The trademark is very important to us and we have to take steps to protect it. BTW: AWW is a great resource. regards, Michael Director, Internet Operations General Media Internet Operations, Inc
