    Hello all,

    Just few days ago i register coli[dot]in for my adult jokes blog.
    I also planning to build url shorter jokes with di.coli.in

    But when i just recently research this name, i found one organization has abbreviation with COLI:
    ACCRA Cost of Living Index (COLI)
    coli.org
    
    Code (markup):
    In other way, i found many COLI names was used by different company and peoples:
    coli.com
    coli.net
    coli.info
    coli.biz
    Code (markup):
    My question is,
    Is my domain name will contain some copyrighted issues? because i want to developed it seriously outside of topic related into organization list above (coli.org).

    What should i do if my domain potentially contains copyrighted issues?

    Many thanks for the answers

    It has nothing to do with copyrights, rather trademarks. The .org isn't likely to be an issue because your usage is entirely different.

    Thank you for the answers, yes my domain will using for absolutely different purpose / topic than the .org.

    I know i have made mistake when i'm not research this word before i register it, but now my doubt was removed :)
