Bejing-Olympics.mobi

I have this .mobi domain which I believe could be quite valuable to someone wanting to deliver scores to people's mobiles in 08.

What do you think its worth?

 

if domain name only then $20-30 imho, but could be worth much more if you develop it now, keep adding content, get it indexed in search engines and sell it just before the olympics start

 

I spelled it wrong in the title, it is actually:

http://beijing-olympics.mobi

 

so no one would want to buy the domain to do the developing you think?

 

Not sure if there would be trademark issues with this domain

 

Regfee, can get problems with law.

 

All the olympics, etc... domains are protected. Law problems soon to hit ya.

 

do i need to say anything more?

 

Mate I'm a law student and to say "law problems soon to hit ya" seems pretty strange.

The domain was purchased on open registration through namecheap. I don't use the domain for anything, it is just sitting there.

How are law problems going to hit me soon?

 

Well, the IOC has been very protective of their trademark. Here is a decision by WIPO that granted a domain to the IOC as early as 2002:

That only resulted in an arbitration decision to have the domain handed over to the IOC.

Here they sued 1800 websites at once in 2000:

omg that dude who regged it may be in jail

 

I doubt jail is in the future, but possibly some Advil for the headache.
