The name alone makes it a target for law enforcement.

I'm pretty sure an adult content broker would have to be suicidally insane to setup on that domain name.

Maybe you are thinking of "obscene"? There's nothing inherently illegal or wrong about explicit material. In fact, explicit just means:

"unambiguous in expression"

As a word, I doubt it's going to attract law enforcement any more than "sex" or "porn" or "xxx". The downside is that it won't attract web surfers as much as those other words do.

Often they will fall under the same legal category.

In this case it would be evident you are going out of your way and branding yourself as explicit.

This is all strictly hypothetical of course.

That's exactly the point of using this domain name. Perfect name for an adult content provider, erotic website among other things.
The term "explicit content" is used extensively to categorize products (mostly music or videos) not meant for minors.

I see what you mean, but it is wide open to legal interpretation on the obscenity front.

On your cataloging topic there are 3 trademarks filled and pending in the US for "parental advisory: explicit content". One by the RIAA, and another by BME Music.

Mind you these are trademarks for industrial designs. But considering the numbers of politicians and judges who are owned by the RIAA I don't think they would have a problem extending it to a .com and collecting their legal costs from you.

They have no application for a mark in Canada so my business wouldn't encounter these problems.



Then again, I'm no lawyer, I kept falling down at the bar.

gruffyserv, as you mention the trademarks are for the phrase "parental advisory: explicit content" and actually more specifically the logo design you see on records.
Such a trademark has no influence whatsoever on the generic phrase "explicit content" or the derived domain name.

Well ok, point taken.

If it was a small to mid sized business I wouldn't anticipate any problems. But the RIAA earns billions annualy by suing businesses and individuals over infringement of their intellectual property rights.

Not to mention they also own a portion of the US legal system.


Sounds like a hot potato, thats all I'm trying to say here.

gruffy, I think your're confusing "illicit" and "explicit"

illicit:

Not sanctioned by custom or law; unlawful
contrary to or forbidden by law;

explicit:

precisely and clearly expressed or readily observable,
leaving nothing to implication;
