Isn't Daffy Duck a Warner Brothers toon?
They could sue you though... then again, you can get sued for everything. The real question is if they'll win or not./(bb|[^b]{2})/Comment

As long as its still small you are probably safe . Just dont get it big ... but then its just a wrong idea to do that you should get another safer domain nameOriginally posted by rayadp05Comment

Yes, they could sue you. You'll have to get their attention first though, and if they'll win is pretty much anybody's guess. If you have any other reason for using the name than their trademark, it would help.Originally posted by Abyss_Vee

I don't think there is any thing infringing on it! If you don't have a duck as a logo or any thing that ties it to Daffy Duck, they wouldn't really have anything to go against you with!

Parody is an exemption to copyright laws. The most recent big test of this that went all the way to the US Supreme Court was when Luke Skyywalker of the 2 Live Crew made a version of "Pretty Woman." He won because his song "Pretty Hairy Woman" was a parody.Originally posted by Abyss_Vee

Best thing is to get a new domain name as Disney is a big company and has the money for a lawsuit. If they do sue you and lose, you can lose a good 10,000 in lawyer fees. You don't have the advantages of negotiation like you do when dealing with smaller companies suing you.Comment

Yea,, i was thinkin as long as i dont link it to their disney character... i should be safe... god knows there are other Daffy's in this world with dicks ? no ?Originally posted by JDog

more likely what they'd do is take you to WIPO and win the domain through their arbitration process. Unless you are well prepared they would most likely win.Comment

I wonder how many 10 year olds you'd get misspelling daffyduck.com.Comment

So whats the line between parody and tarnishing someone's image. Not to mention that a sing that aims for a parody is one thing, but a site, listing porn, say he used a duck mascot, isnt really a parody of the character, and sounds more like something along the lines of using the characters fame to profit.

Yea i'll put all the things stating that it has no relation to DAFFY DUCKOriginally posted by Rorschach

Has Anyone gotten sued because of something similar like this?Comment

yeah daffydick is a legitimate typein for daffyduck.. looking at the proximity of I and U to each other.
It's a bad idea and most likely illegal to run an adult site on that domain name.

You can get sued for anything I guess...wether or not they win the case is another storyComment

Zuccarini reportedly admitted to 49 counts of using domain names to direct minors to nudity or sexually explicit content. Each count is punishable by up to four years in prison and a $250,000 fine.Originally posted by sacX

Watch out... famous domain typo squatter John Zuccharini is now going to prison for misleading kids to porn sites. Apparently he owned typos of cartoons that lead to porn. The new law was bundled with the Amber Alert Bill. Pretty heavy penalties.

I think you should get another Domain.
No matter how you look at it, it was regged based on Daffy Duck, there is no way you would be able to win in WIPO, no way in hell. I would certainly sue your ass so expect them to do the same.
Even if you decided to keep it and not have a Duck in your logo wouldnt make the tie in which is what you where going for wasnt it, a play on the characters name?

I know Eidos fucked over the guy that was running ThumbRaider and he lost his domain.
I wouldn't touch that domain with a 10 foot pole because it would definately be considered a typo domain.Comment

maybe yes, maybe no, but if in doubt it usually isnt worth the risk. Dump it and get a new domain

Daffy Duck is Warner Bros... so I don't think Disney would sue you for that....
Warner Bros.... is another story and if you used a likeness to their character, YES, they will sue you.Comment

Ok all you numnuts. Daffy is a dictionary word meaning
Definition 1. (informal) silly, foolish, crazy, or weak-minded in mood or temperament.
Daffy has nothing to do with WB. If you uses a duck that is similar in the looks to Daffy Duck, then it might or might not get a letter from WB. He already said, he's not going to be using a duck on his website. So there is no reason I can think of for WB to be looking at his site.
He is using two words "daffy" and "dick". Even though dick and duck are spelled similar, as long as the site has nothing to do with Daffy Duck, he is free and clear.Comment

You are 100% wrong ice, I dont care who owns Daffy Duck, they will sue the owner of DaffyDick.com for a fact, moron!

I think there was some flack over people buying domains using misspelled words..
and with the 'i' and 'u' keys being right next to each other, it could be judged that this was the intention.. IF they wanted to pursue it..Comment

They'll start out by sending you a cease and desist. Then they'll take it to court, whether it's parody or not. Eventually, either you'll win in court or run out of money. It won't come cheap though.Comment

Someone just fell off the turnip truck. The US has a law about misleading domains and they have been very successful in prosectuting people. I doubt WB will do much more than send a C&D but getting prosecuted by the attorney general's office isn't something I would want to take on.<a href=http://www.purecash.com?ref=475><img src=http://www.pornmo.com/pcbut2_1.gif></a>Comment
