Falcon Heene, the balloon boy on the news..

The .com was taken but I managed to register the .net and .org, seeing that the search results are growing exponentially. Yes, the incident is over for now, but people will continue to talk about him and the results will increase.. I'm hoping to build the site with some more info, funny pics, etc.

Andddd, ofcourse, if the kid eventually gets famous, this would work to my advantage I'm hoping.

Questions:
- Is it work anything, as is?
- Am I violating any copyright issues by owning domain names that go by his name?

Thanks,

1....you should not register other people's names...get you into trouble
2...this will be old news in a day or two
3...the kid will only be famous for a day or two, and be glad of that, because they will go after the domain
4...work/worth nothing

I agree. I regged RunawayBalloon.com and I am second guessing myself already.

Why do people in domaining still do this.......and you wonder why we get labeled as "cybersquatters"....a few bucks in a few days for a long time stigma? No thank you

...and the registrars that sell them should be regarded as "dope" pushers. Its is time for these registrars to take responsibility for this selfish action as well, high time.

I think registrars have every right to register any name you want but people should wake up from their dreams of registering against event that will only last a week with a view of making $xx,xxx from it. If I typed Run Away balloon in google I bet you runawayballoon.com will not show up in the next 10 result page.

If you have got money to give away, please donate it to charities or better still to me.

Some crazes are worthwhile to follow.

This is not one of them - not in any way, except potentially learning how to better differentiate between which trends to follow.
