just the other day, I let go 3 very famous actress names because I didnt feel like getting a C&D letter.
Originally I thought that there would be no TM on a name(!), but I was 'informed' otherwise...
So, why are we all Greeks up this early on Sunday?
Did you all just get back from the night out?
fellow greek, if he wants to he can get that info in a heartbeat. I dont like the guy myself, he is a david copperflied wanna be, but may be worth something to some fan of his.

Good lord, what do you mean you let them go. Did they expire or did you sell them cheap? Were they .coms? C&Ds are my specialism please PM me with the details. If you have any more please PM me too.

If you are not David Blaine and somebody with that name disputes your domain ownership you loose 100%. Even if the guy is not famous.
If he is famous (which I assume David Blaine is) then his name is, what's called a "famous mark" even without having registered it as a TM. DavidBeckham.com is 100% reserved for the one who rightfully owns this famous name. And famous marks cover ALL classes of market goods.
Sorry, but your DavidBlaine.info is unusable without his permission. Nothing you can do about it. Just imagine it was your name for which I owned the domain...
