Earlier today I bought a [First + Last Name].com with around 40 people on Facebook having that exact name.
Then I started thinking; did I just do something wrong? Could I get sued if I tried to sell it? Are there any other risks? Am I doing something immoral?
The name is not trademarked, and there are no celebrities with that name.
According to Wikipedia, cybersquatting is defined as:
Since the name is not trademarked, it seems I'm at least not guilty of cybersquatting.
Would appreciate any advice you can give me on how to proceed.
