Register Today on DNForum IT'S FREE!I registered a person that I saw on a reality-show, they were not famous at the time, however, now he is pretty famous.
I plan on making it into a fansite, however, my question is, since its his full name in a .net domain, can I be sued? Or is it ok since it was registered before he got really famous.
thx.

I'm not a legal expert (I posted my own "Need legal advice" thread a few days ago too). However, I assume if you are profiting off this website you are in the wrong. Profiting off of someones name without their permission can easily land you a lawsuit.
I am looking to purchase websites. View my DNF thread HERE
If you're going to really make it a fansite, make sure it stays that way with no
hints of commercial use, whatsoever. No Adsense, no PPC, nada.
Vidi, Vici, Veni!
i dont think you should have any problems...

If it is not your name and you are using a celeb. to make money off of then they can come after you. That was proven many years ago when several celebs and their names were being hijacked to profit from. You will lose unless you have the amount of money and time they do.
