Can I use the words "pornhub" in my domain name? - GoFuckYourself.com

UniqueMovies · 10-27-2009, 12:24 AM

I am thinking about registering a new domain name with the words "pornhub" in it.

Does he have a trademark on those words?

I see all kinds of domains using those words and they are not owned by pornhub.

sure will be no problem go right ahead.

Do I detect sarcasm?

mobilepornhub.com
freepornhub.com
pornhubmobile.com

Those are all doing just fine and they are not owned by the original owner.

Agent 488 · 10-27-2009, 12:37 AM

do you really want to spend time developing something that can be taken away? find something else. if you are really hung up on the name do some on and offsite seo to grab some of the traffic for that word.

Intrinsic · 10-27-2009, 12:38 AM

Yes I'm sure pornhub will go after you
They are probably licensed in and pay taxes and have servers within the USA

UniqueMovies · 10-27-2009, 12:41 AM

Can somebody actually trademark the words "porn hub" ?

l0lf4c3 · 10-27-2009, 01:32 AM

for .commercials ? why that ? .us would be okay... but a worldwide tld ?

Pornhub is a not a registered trademark as of yet. But they can probably overtake your domain, regardless of where you are located, by going through wipo.int and make a domainname dispute.

fatfoo · 10-27-2009, 02:20 AM

I think there should be no problem. Pornhub has been noting for using other's content without permission itself, hasn't it.

SleazyDream · 10-27-2009, 02:23 AM

only if a surfer uploads it to your site LOL

Your getting copyright mixed up with trademark. Two different things.

Porn and Hub are too generic words. So they can not be copyrighted i think.

Voltar used to (and maybe still does) teach newbies how to make porn hub pages. I recall him being quite protective of the term "hub" in reference to the interlinking style actually.

How can they do it? How much will it cost them in court fees to win?

Sorry you are incorrect

ColetteX · 02-26-2010, 11:12 AM

so how is your pornhub domain doing?

GTS Mark · 02-26-2010, 11:31 AM

Here is what is going to happen (trust me). You will buy the domain and then put some tube script up and then start buying traffic to feed it. Once you get on Pornhub's radar they will come calling and take the domain from you (and quite honestly i feel they should). Back in the old days the Hun used to offer $100 to anyone that bought a domain for adult with the likeliness "hun" in it. If you didn't sell it then you would most likely pay the price later LOL!

Anyways it's not worth the effort and bullshit. Just register another domain and build it up, that way you won't run into issues later on.

Just my 2 cents obv.

It's called UDRP. It costs roughly $1250 if I remember right, so it's a lot less than a lawsuit.
