I got a .com, but then someone registers a .net w/ obscene material?

Ok, so I have a .com which is a health site/self-growth site...however, a few months later, a .net version of my dotcom name shows up.

Someone with a similar name (on a .net) and made a adult site (as a hypothetical example), can I do anything about it?

Or, should I not worry about it?

 

If the domain name isn't a trademark, there's nothing you can do about it.

And I really don't think it's worth worrying about in any case. For many years www.whitehouse.com was a porn site (now just parking) and the whitehouse.gov people were unable to do anything.

 

You can't do anything. You need to have TM.

 

That's because it was a trademarked UK porn magazine.

 

lol didn't knew about that xD

 

is the name of your domain name generic?
if not , would you spend cash to trademark it?
leave the .net alone and enjoy your .com
next time when you want something "big" register both .com and .net to be sure

 

bluemouse2 is right. if it is big and unique, trademark it and quickly.
