Please appraise PornPal.com. Bought it some days ago.

Its a good name if youre selling porn. I wonder what PayPal would have to say about it though. Some of its memorability must come from its closeness to their name.

I would say low to mid $$$. Before parking or developing, I would ask the legal forum for some advice.

at least 2-5k i guess, great name

so anything with pay or pal in it paypal would have tm issues? this is total bs if they do because the whole domain world would start fighting over legality of names.

I am not an appraiser,
I'd prob. pay $1000 for that one!
Good Luck,

What made you change your mind?

And may I ask what you paid for it?

great name

zero tm issues


one example is youtube ,and check porntube
now they are in same genre too and the adult vid version is a top alexa site too
their logo is not a mile off either!

porntube got into some difficulties but was nowt to do with youtube , it was just a copyright prob using material, much same prob youtube had lol

as long as pornpal isnt an online porn payment soultion or the logo is not a ripoff of theirs, they would be flogging a dead horse imo
however stranger things have happened, but imo you are ok if you dont step into their area of business

just m/o

nice domain

Pal is a generic term and using it wont lead u to any legal issue, as said above, as long as u dont rip anything from paypal they must shut up.

different is the case of brand names, like ebay, which isnt a generic term, if u register lets say toysbay as bay is generic u wont have problems but if u register toysebay they will start to bother you.

cheers

I think that eventuality is nearer than some of us think!

I hope I am wrong in thinking there may have been TM issues - I dont think that Paypal would have much of a case but if it became a popular site with a sniff of PayPallish design, I bet they would consider having a go - the correct decision does not always seem to be made in all cases that I have read.
