How to avoid legal issues?

[kephi]

I registered microsoft.##,

Can anybody give me some suggestion?

Refund the domain... now...

If you can't, point the domain to a blank page and hope that Microsoft doesn't sue your butt for cybersquatting.

drop it like a hot rock. This can only be trouble.

Then spend about a month reading in this legal section about trademarks before registering another domain. It is time well spent.

Thanks, Wyatt!

I put a simple html page of microsoft.## right now, is that illegal?

thanks for your suggestion,

If I hold it, what's the worst result?

That's not really what I meant; IF you can not drop the domain, point the domain to a 404 page with absolutely no content - not even blank white space.

The worst that could happen is that Microsoft sues you for a heck of a lot of money for cybersquatting. Not pretty.

kephi - I see you're new here at NamePros. Every thread you've made so far is about your name - www.microsoft.cc.

I've removed most of your threads - FYI - I believe there maybe a few attorneys from Microsoft registered here. Maybe they will enlighten you with some news.
