What's the cost of starting a company in say Vegas?

Is this a good state (nevada) to start a company in?

Peace

Depends upon the trademark you are messing with probably. :)

All credited registrars are bound by UDRP, so there isn't really anywhere you can hide.

It would probably be easier and more pofitable in the long run to just do something that earns you an honest buck.

Why even try, Risk your site and money because you can't think up a good name?

Actually, it sounds more like you're the greedy one - trying to piggyback off another company's success and trademark.

It's not about greed as much as it is protecting one's property. Your posts say alot about the type of person you are :disgust

Nah, it really says nothing about what kind of person I am. That's like saying that your a pervert just because you have an adult business, or to say that you "had wild sex" with your wife just because you tried the doggystyle position for the first time. :)

I might be greedy of me to get such domains even if I am a good person, but its also greedy of them to think they have the right to everything labeld with their name, and still they haven't done there home-work or have an empoyee that try to secure all rights to the brand worldwide.

As long as you dont send your misspelled domains to some animal sex site or a rip off of the original site or comeptition, I dont see much wrong with it. It just shows that you have done a good job in marketing if someone elses reg a similiar domain as yours.

If you had asked me 2 years ago I would be totally against such practices.

:)
