My sexy new domain name - 007 Heaven!

No surprises, JamesBondSkyfall.com was taken! Sony Pictures grabbed it up!
But, I bought JamesBondSkyfall.us for a bargain basement price. Amazon products should fill the bill here (if I can work out how to decipher all their rules!).

The name is Bond ...... Warrior Bond! ;-)

  • Ignoring the obvious lawsuit issues David, how were you planning to monetize that site?
  • Good luck with that my man - I'm also sceptical but eager at that same time to see if you can pull this off - but I reckon sony will be after you as soon as the site goes live

    • The site was available for purchase - it looks legit to me. I am not using any logos or movie content that infringe on film copyright.

  • You know there's lot of talk of trademark infringement in domain names however in most cases it only poses a risk.

    This situation however is another kettle of fish given that the trademark owner has already registered the ".com" version.

    Registering the same with only a different extension is really asking for trouble and it's very likely that you will be contacted.

    You should apply for cancellation with immediate expiration otherwise you'll only have to surrender it months down the the line.

    I know this from first and experience from naive choices I made myself years ago.

  • Wow, this is crazy.. You probably get a DMCA notice or a C&D soon enough.

    I guess the only way to be around it is assuming your name is Actually "James Bond" other than that it won't be up for long

    • Oh, his hopes and dreams have now gone spiraling.

      So sad.

      What can he do?

      Well, if he just purchased, and if he did it from godaddy, he can call them and see if he can drop it quickly.

      Otherwise, it will need to sit until it expires.

      Future suggestion - choose a name like "bestfamousspys.com" or something more generic.

      You would have had a real heck of a time ranking your initial thought, and as mentioned the trademark issue.

      To put it into quick perspective for you - if I were to register something like walmart.net - it makes me appear as though I am an approved walmart representative. Meanwhile, they have no control on what I do on my site. I could do something really stupid that endangers their brand name and costs them millions of dollars. You need to get permission when you want to use a product name in the domain.

  • When Sony's legal team finds you, your name is going to be Bendover Bond!

  • I'm sure they will shut your site down AND take you to the court. You should change it before it's not too late.

    If you purchased it from Godadddy within the last 3 days, call them and ask for a refund and cancellation. They're the only registrar that does this.
  • And it'll probably worth for a while now. After 2 or 3 months, i think it'll be worthless.
  • Some of those bond domain idea presented above may not be half bad. LOL What a way to trick the search engines!
  • But really Nice name,

    • All trademarked names are nice names because we used to hear them frequently.
