OrderDirect.TV Can They Mess With Me?

[Peachesbackwards]

I was fooling around with domain names the other day on GoDaddy and I was shocked that OrderDirect.TV was available. I bought this domain name for around $8.99 mainly for the purpose of reselling the name. So I decided until I sell it, I may as well develop it into a website and see what happens. I should add, I would never have the balls to buy a name that was something like OrderDirectTV.com or anything else where the words OrderDirectTV are grouped next to each other without a separation of a domain suffix. I was accepted into a bunch of affiliate programs & one of my affiliates is Direct TV. So to cut to the chase, I have a bunch of banner ads for Direct TV that are almost the first thing you see on the site. My website I admit is totally amateurish, I don't have the money to do anything better & I used a free program with hosting from GoDaddy called Website Tonight. I thought about putting banner ads up for places like the Dish Network too but decided not to as I thought that would be taking things too far. I have banner ads for a bunch of other products that have nothing to do with Satellite TV or Direct TV.

Could Direct TV harass me for the name? I could see them making me take the Banner ads from them down. If that was the case, I could then run banner ads for say the "Dish Network", right and they couldn't tell me to cease and desist or could they? Any advice or am I making too much out of this & I'm too small a fish for Direct TV to care about or buy me out?

IMHO you're making too much out of this.

At least you know what to expect. The rest is up to you.
