@Picorio Typical case of cheapskate syndrome plaguing most of the super-rich. I take it you won't vote for M Bloomberg. I know I won't.

No. It is a typical case of a domain that exists only because of a famous person.
The owner was smart to settle it.

If a celebrity wants a domain they will contact you, either with an offer or legal action.
Celebrities do not want to be spammed with domains for sale.

Unless a domain has a valid generic use, or a use that qualifies under fair use, it is a bad idea to mess with domains like this.

Ok I have a quick question to someone with more knowledge who can share some light about it: since we are talking about trademarked domains and it's legal risks, here is another situation I'm dealing with. When the app extension came out last year, I managed to register CHEAPHOTELS. About 2 weeks later of being registered, I got a notification from my registrar saying that such domain was a trademark and they took it away from me BUT THEY TOLD ME would send an email to the owner or representant of such "brand" "company" letting them know about the availability of such domain for them to grab it. According to my registrar, they would have 30 days to respond back and claim the domain. Long story short, 30 days after ,my registrar gave me back the domain/ownership because the 30 days period were over and the owner or representant of the trademark didn't claimed. What should I do with such domain and we all know that CHEAPHOTELS are high quality keywords. You professional advice will be greatly appreciated

To each their own. This system only favors the rich. While the rich have a free pass to enslave the poor and middle class at all cost, the poor and middle class must be saints. As long as this double standard persists, all means to survive are acceptable, at least from a humane perspective, not from an elitist worldview.

Well, after careful thought, I should clarify that I don't condone in any way any illegal activity. All activities should always respect law and order. I'm just fed up with certain influential people who can get away with anything they want, then when some "nobody" tries to do anything on the borderline to survive, he's the bad guy. Hopefully you understand what I mean.

Early morning I was walking in downtown Honolulu...and then I saw him...sparring with Chuck ! I wonder who won...Elvis was also a black belt after all...
