.gov spill-over traffic

[melmunch]

I have not seen much written about this. What is the legal status of regging or buying the .com or other extensions of a developed .gov site?

If www.welovethegovernment.gov was a developed site, and I registered the .com and got some type in traffic, can and will the government have a problem with this? Do they do udrp's?

Also, whether they do or they don't, what sort of revenue multiples do these sites sell for?

Search google for IRS.gov and IRS.com.

I think it depends on the name. If it's more financial oriented, it gets more dangerous.

Do you know what kind of multiples these sites sell for?

Depends on traffic and revenue then.
