I bought three lindsay lohan playboy dot com URL's.

LindseyLohanPlayboy dot com
lindsayplayboy dot com
lohanplayboy dot com

I'm a sorta newbie online but am definitley a newbie in flipping domains. This should be a heavily searched topic in the next few months. Do i put it on GoDaddy auctions and sell? Or, do I create some simple WP pages and load with adsense and get it ranking? I am open to any suggestions. Any insight would help.

Thanks

Duncan

    I suggest you do nothing at all.
    Both of them will sue you. You'll end up not owning not even your dog's leash.

      While there is a possibility he could get into trouble I don't think there's a need for over the top theatrics.

      Duncan,

      Many people get away with having trademarked terms or other peoples names in their domain names, but there's always a risk you could get into legal trouble or if not, receive a cease and desist letter and lose your hard work.

      I would be leaning towards getting rid of/selling them but thats just me. The risk is yours to consider on your own.

        You may "call it" what ever you want. Ask a lawyer and you'll see if my comment wasn't real.

          As someone else mentioned, you're getting into a risky business. People sometimes get away with doing this, but it's not a risk I would take.

    I was in a similar situation, with a law firm telling me to C&D; however, I guess they don't expect IM'ers to lawyer up--which I did, and I never heard from them again.
