Michael Moore is pretty popular and unpopular these days.

While I know that dashes aren't popular... some people have had to resort to having them in their name. Al Franken has al-franken.com, but not alfranken.com.

What do you guys think? Please appraise.

That's what I thought as well, and I believe he would be the type of person to go after it.

Wouldn't I be ok if I were to set up a site with reviews of his books and movies? Which is what I had intended to do with the name.

IMO...develop into a forum where people can go back and forth with eachother. Alot of people despise him and alot support him so it could make for a very unique site. As for the UDRP, it wouldn't really matter because you're expressing opinion and critique...hard to win.

yep, best use traffic, political forum or such

just trying to sell it could be bad faith if you read the decisions at WIPO

Just redirect it to the Bush 2004 site, thats what I would do.
