Any opinions on this one?

 

[stuff]

I would not post any possible TM names in a public forum, but thats just me.

I agree with stuff, its a dangerous thing to do. But i hope you dont get into trouble and trigger a lawsuit from nike.

i was going to make it a site about their products and sponsored athletes, like tiger etc.

Don't they already have a site?

Dont worry about it,if they come after you just tell them your gonna sell it to someone in china,what they gonna do ? sue the guy in china LOL

I had the problem i laughed at them and told them to ram it and transferred the domain to someone in Thailand as i would rather give it someone else than the brands who employ bully boy tactics.

If they cant be nice and offer you a little something.I havnt seen ebay telling people to stop selling ebay domains on their own site yet.

To many people get scared of the bully boy tactiocs on here dont be one of them,come out fighting then if before they try to file a writ get rid of the domain and that leaves them in the S**t.

Good luck !

-$100,000. Cause you will spend that amount to cover the trademark violation legal battle with nike.

Note from the same source:
Nike, Inc., a company, named after the Greek goddess, that specializes in sports goods.

no problem.

not sure if I have the right URL, but I *think* thats what the fellow at
http://www.nikegoddess.com did... initially, until 'someone' bought the domain
because it sure aint a Nike Goddess site anymore. Oh, what a surprise, look who bought it.................... :santa:

 

[stuff]

I am not saying You can`t own it, You can and I also do own some nike domains, but why post them in a public forum? That I can`t understand.
