I have found myself in an interesting position today. I was able to get a [company-name].dev website for reg fee.
This is a super large company, Fortune 500 level.
Their name itself is not that unique, as it is a common name that has been used for a few different projects, but not in their space obviously.
I am no interest in selling the domain or monetising it (I'm quite wary of profiting from their name), but hey, its a good domain and I would like to develop my own personal blog on it. I also want it so that I have a supercool e-mail address to use now.
Is there anything in particular that could force me to hand over the domain? Am I okay as long as I don't monetise, don't try to sell it, maybe I'll put a link at the top to their main website and give them a positive review, but otherwise I can use the domain as I see fit? Obviously all content will be legal and ethical etc.
P.S. I seriously think .dev is being slept on, its such an amazing domain extension. gTLD and IT related (.io always was a bit of a strange hack to me). Glad to see its getting more and more popular (from my anecdotal evidence)
