    Hi, just wondering if anyone knows the legalities of buying a domain that was previously DMCAed. Do past liabillities get transferred to the new owner if all the old content was removed? Ive noticed the odd DMCAed sites up for sale and was wondering if its an opportunity or a trap? Any feedback would be welcome :)

    IANAL.
    Legally you are not liable for previous transgressions but if Google has delisted a DMCA'd domain or banned it from Adsense then good luck getting that reversed and getting any traffic.
