I brought this domain last day, but I am afraid the word -vista- is copyrighted or not, but I done a google search http://www.google.co.in/search?as_q...as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=&as_rights=&safe=images i can see so many domains contain the word -vista- so I assume I can too use this word in my domain. any thoughts ? thanx in advance
there are lots of things that are using the word "vista" though...the problem is going to be with your content. For example, there is a section of the city I live in called "The Vista"...if you wrote about it on your website, MS would not come after you, but if you write about MS vista, they may. Just make sure you give the appropriate copyright info and the appropriate trademarks. This should keep you in business for a while anyway.
I own vistahacks.net which is currently undeveloped. I intent putting vista pc content on it not for profit. Worse case a C&D and they take it, no biggie to me. Dont know if its TM or if my domain was regged first as i havnt researched it yet. Guess i'll find out.
