I feel like it's a pretty good one. I registered it a week before the announcement. Your opinions?

TM issues is all that comes to my mind.

Can we post a huge sticky on top that asks newbies NOT to ask for their trademark infringing domains to be appraised? Thanks.

Yah I don't think Fujitsu cares...

While the end user would have to be careful how they use the site, I don't find "ipad hacker" inherently infringing.

The downside to the domain is that hardware hackers usually have their own websites already with a built-in audience. I don't think you're going to see a lot of end user interest.

For fun I'll toss $10 out there as an appraisal. Maybe higher if you really get the right end user. But, marketing minded hardware hackers are very few.

The one thing I'll say on this topic is that "whateverhacker" is usually a weaker search term than "whateverhacks". Also, that demographic is a real pain in the ass to monetize. They tend to take the info, and never pay for anything or click any ads.

Do some research, guys. Just stay clear of copyrighted words, names, phrases, etc...

Blatant Tm infringement.
No-one seems to care, until you get that dreaded letter.......

Wow people are uptight here. Apple (in this case Fujitsu) has better things to do than to go after every crummy domain.

 

[Alex P]

Why bother risking it though?

if iphonehacks.com has been up and running for a few years, I'd say there is little to no risk.

 

[Alex P]

You have a very good point.

Sorry i would say no value. There is always the risk they could go after the domain, even if it seems unlikely. Also it's not that we are uptight, we just have heard many stories of names like these being taken back by a trademark holder.

People rob banks and get away with it, are you going to copy them also ?
