domain Band names

[kaposzta]

I've just regged some very popular bands' name.
According to Estibot, these names have very nice Wordtracker and Overture stats, but I don't know how much are they really worth.
I'd appreciate any opinion and thought about these domains.

MarsVolta.org, .info
TheMarsVolta.org, .info
RobZombie.org
TheAnimals.info
Stratovarius.info
QuietRiot.info
DeadKennedys.info
SocialDistortion.info
TheAtaris.info
MercyMe.info
JimmyEatWorld.info


Thanks!

be careful treading on such ground. Those bands can take the domains back from you or worse, sue. Most bands trademark their names, just as any company would, and regging their names is sort of asking for trouble. Just like you wouldn't dare reg microsoft.anything

This is very true, however, I have owned several high profile band names for a couple of years and never had a problem. All of these sites are developed and earn adsense revenue. I think some bands are a little more sensitive to the fact that some genuine fans own sites and don't want to send the wrong impression by issuing lawsuits to the people who pay their wages. That being said, if you are ever challenged about them don't even think about fighting. They will win.

Best of luck

Thanks LandingCandy!
I want to develop some of the names, for example building a site with a forum, or creating minisites.
Any more thoughts?

Hi,

Some good names there. Jimmy Eat World are one of my favourite bands so I like that one!
The only problem with developing nowadays is I feel official/unofficial band sites are less popular, mainly because of social networking sites such as MySpace. Most fans now see a bands MySpace page as their main band page as you can find out all the latest info, leave messages for others to see and listen to their songs. They are a little more interactive than most official band pages.

Some good names though. Good luck with them
