Copyright question

    I plan on creating a site related to facebook. I know that it is copyright infringement to include "facebook" in the actual domain name, but would it be copyright infringement to include "FB" in the name (i.e. fb-stuff.com)?

    copyright issues are based on faith and not exact match. I'm sure fb will fall into the same category so my opinion will be yes it is a copyright infringement and especially that now facebook owns fb.com anyway.

    Good luck

    Alright thanks, any other opinions? It is going to be tough to make a site so entirely dedicated to facebook but without any indication of it in the domain name :(

    facebook has been suing people using their name in the domain, so its better not to use it unless you have a lawyer on retainer lol
