great domain, mate.. i don't know if there's any copyright infringements if it's popular names.. CMIIW
He can take it from you not buy it from you! Nice catch but put it on good use soon not to lose it for nothing.
Yeah, but if he wants it, it'll cost him $1500 to start a UDRP dispute, I'd settle to sell it to him for $100 Secondly, I've researched this, while he has a trademark on his name, Bill Gates is actually a common name, and he might not have a claim over the domain, so should it be ok for me to resell it?
Unless your name is Bill Gates, you have no legitimate claim to the name. Posting that you want to sell it to him is proof of a bad faith registration. Bill Gates doesn't care about spending $1,500 for a UDRP, nor would he care about suing you in court - which I am sure would cause you to go broke and probably be an hours worth of bank interest to Gates. Drop the domain name - it is worthless.
One of the ideas that comes to my mind is to put up a fan blog devoted to Bill Gates, add a link to The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, then make them an offer to purchase your blog.
I agree ... It's just a dream that Bill Gates would buy this domain from you, he have other more important things to do. And I he would like to get that domain probably he would contact you. Better sell it to someone else..
Lol, thats was just a joke, I really did not expect to sell it to Bill Gates! I'm selling it now and I'm trying to see what kind of offers I'll get for it. Edit: Just looked at BillGates.com and it appears to be owned by someone else, so I think I'm ok!
Bill gates doesnt care of the domain unless ur going to setup a site to insult him or destroy his image.. Bill gates has already retired and busy with charity work i dont think he would sue some1 for a domain (personally)
Microsoft owns over 25K domains, many of them taken from the previous owners with legal action. They have sued a large number of domain squatters - some for $100,000 per domain. Whether or not they would go after any particular domain is unknown, but the possibility makes the domain worthless.
I suggest you to leave this domain. why billgates gonna buy this??? and why someone else will buy this from you ..for lawsuit????
forward the domain to google.com, that will draw some attention ! having in mind rivals microsoft vs. google or just park it and put google ads on it !!!
