domain newstage6.com

[martinr]

Hi, this domain must be developed into a Divx video website, like the defunct stage6.com. The domain is really new but is spreading really fast. In the past 5 days I had more than 12k+ unique visitors so far and the keyword "new stage6" is ranked first in google and yahoo.

Im not really sure in developing it, because of the high cost of hosting HQ videos. But i think that is has a lot of potential in that segment.

Please appraise the domain, thx!

I think time is limited on this one, it's a hot search because stage6 just shut down but it will be soon forgotten. I also think there is questionable value in branding a new site based on a dead one. Hope you can make some quick dollars monetizing it now because it will soon be worthless IMHO. Good Luck!

Right now i had more than 15100 visitors...so if better if I develop this one right?

I saw this msg on your site
"Apologies to all the people that showed interest but I was contacted by divxcorp.
We cannot longer use this name.
shutting down in 2 days."

I guess that means you can't develop it unless you want to get a lawsuit by divxcorp.

..right!... ....
Now i am wondering what else can I do with that domain... :/

Can you get a refund for it?
I think that's the best course of action.
Drop and get a refund.

I don't know...what if I use it for a different subject? not for video...obviously... is that legal? i live in Argentina.

Although stage6.com is gone, and I don't see how keywordstage6.com will do any damage, but nevertheless, if they want to go after you with a lawsuit, they still can. It doesn't neccessarily mean that they will win...
I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not 100% sure, but since you have been contacted by divxcorp about this, I don't think developing is the course of action you should take imo.

I would just drop it and walk away, not worth the legal hassles.
There are lots of other good names you could put your development effort into.
