Can I use the words "pornhub" in my domain name?
 

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? :1orglaugh

mobilepornhub.com
freepornhub.com
pornhubmobile.com

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

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.

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

Can somebody actually trademark the words "porn hub" ?

well if sextube was i don't see why not

ask Shap

all your sextubes belong to him

What if you dont live in the US? :winkwink:

what if?


what if my Aunt had balls?





then she'd be my uncle

I think when it comes to .com's, the U.S. courts have the power

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.

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

only if a surfer uploads it to your site LOL

Bingo....

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

I always figure if I have to think twice about it then perhaps it isn't worth the stress.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh ...

Ask them about that, ou, they will let you use it, right?

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

Micro and Soft are too generic words. I don't think they can be copyrighted either I think. :2 cents:

Uh, what about burger and king ... home and depot ... bed bath beyond .......

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.

trivia for 2c

:1orglaugh

PMSL!

yup :2 cents:

nice idea man, trademark the name and get their traffic :thumbsup

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

i remember hqredtube.com was taken by court order

fucking tubes

Sorry you are incorrect

so how is your pornhub domain doing?

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. :)

My thoughts exactly.


The HQredtude dude lived in Estonia, so clearly where you live might not matter.

this is still funny. how can thiefs have a copyright

Search for the trademark here

Is there a reason you necro'd this thread?

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

Haha, thats funny.

wtf is .pro

http://www.register.com/product/pro/index.rcmx

The .Pro domain extension is only available for certain self-certified professionals.



Who is eligible?

At this time, .Pro is available exclusively for:
Medical doctors (.med.pro)
Attorneys (.law.pro)
Certified public accountants (.cpa.pro)



How much does a .Pro domain name cost?

$350 for one year, including a $100 non-refundable application fee.

Why would copy what every one is doing? Try something new:2 cents:

sure go ahead
