"I think trademark would be the issue here, rather than copyright. I'm fairly sure copyright can't apply to a single word or short phrase (e.g. a song title). If anybody wants to know for sure, ask in the Copyright Forum :)" Good point indeed. OTOH, a registered domain name would not automatically create or assume a registered trademark unless the name was actually registered as a trademark. Something to remember. (correct me if I'm wrong) The point I was trying to make was a friend of mine registered a domain name about five years ago, choosing a name that he thought was rather nifty and unique. He'd had his web site up for about a year when one day he received an e-mail from an attorney informing him the name he'd chosen was for a trademarked product. The product was a hand-held mister...some battery operated device that sprayed water mist through a propeller onto your face, popular at sporting events. I cannot remember that exact name of the product, but do remember the domain name matched the trademarked product exactly. Misty-something or other, I cant' remember. He had no choice but to abandon the website. The company would not settle for a disclaimer on the website. Another thought for SeanE: what's so wrong with choosing your name as a domain name? IMHO, it isn't the domain name that keeps me coming back, it's the content within. The actual domain name, at least to me, means nothing much. IMO, the domain name is simply the bookmark; if I like it, the content is why I bookmarked it in the first place. Your struggle should not be so much as the name, but the goodies within that make people want to return :)
