Advice needed please

bradw01f · Jun 11, 2010

When I first started buying up domain names I bought SegaDreamcast.co.uk, the reason behind buying it was I am a massive dreamcast fan and own nearly all the games etc so to own segadreamcast.co.uk is a collectors dream, I was going to turn it into a blog about all things dreamcast... Now knowing more about Domaining I know I may have made a big mistake in buying a TM domain, And with the news that Sega are updating all there back catalog to full HD and releasing them on 360 & PS3 I dont know what to do with the domain...

It as started to pick up some good traffic.

Any Help Welcome Please...

Steam Publishers - SEGA
I wouldn't bother with it, there's plenty more fish in the sea that don't sting.
.com and .net is parked, .info is doing what you want to do with it.

You could contact them and explain exactly how you just explained it here,

They (may) offer you something for it due to your honesty, (Def do not ask for anything this could be misconstrued) Although ignorance of the law is no excuse to break it.. other than that you could just do a courtesy delete.

Your definitely asking in the right place, Im sure someone here will have experience with this issue,

best of luck,

No need to worry as long as your understanding with them and if they decide it wouldn't be in there interests you give up the name if need be.
