Can I have a domain name with some popular site's name in it as prefix ?

    well I know that ebay is very strict on this but what about sites like myspace or digg or youtube ? I mean can I have a domain like myprofileonmyspace.com (My profile on myspace) or letsdigg.com (let's digg) ? I am looking to build a site on these sites and including there name in the domain will surely increase my site's appeal :)

    Thanks

    Myspace not allowing you to use there name, not sure about digg.
    You can have it like this (My profile on myspace) MyProfileonMS.com or MPMS.com

    No one know exactly but at the moment there is no problem as far as i know, with either company you mentioned.
    Myspace not allowing there name to be used for sure.

    Not sure if thats the case... Googlerankings.com - seems to be bought out by google.

    When i applied for a key on the site - the reply i recieved was from this e-mail id : <api-support@google.com>

    Have your own opinions !!

    If you are not planning to make loads of cash on it than I would assume you will be ok, but if it's the other way around you might get in trouble
