How serious is myspace about other websites using the word "myspace". I've seen articles couple months ago about myspace sending out legal letters to all the owners of sites that have the word myspace in the domain name but i dont see any changes. Tons of sites are using the words "MySpace" in their domain name, and some of them are not just some litte sites. Some of these sites are well ranked in top 5000 on alexa. Does myspace just not care? will they do something about it? is it safe to get a domain name with the word myspace in it? Its great for search engines by having that in your domain name. What do you think? Do you own any myspace domain names? have you heard from myspace?
Myspace is more or less going after those whose domain names bearing the word itself. They're right in some cases, possibly wrong in others. But...they do have the right to protect their trademark rights. They risk losing it completely if they're not careful. And is it really great for search engines? Or great for their registrants if they seek to get a free ride on someone's hard work?
