    Hey there!
    Greetings of the day!
    My question is that can i buy a domain name starting with a movie name? Like the format below-
    Moviename+keywords.com.

    Also if i specify clearly that its an unofficial site providing only information about the movie.

    i have seen many fan websites having the movie name in domain.

    So can i do that without falling in any legal trouble?

    Usually depends how big the company is... if the movie is a small independent production they need all the help they can get and won't bother you

    If its a fansite and you specifically explain that you should be absolutely ok. No film makers would resist some free advertising. Now, if you start monetizing and get financial advantage from the website there is a high possibility that someone will contact you... ;)
