    Hi all,

    I got lucky and picked up a new Playstation3*****.com website 3 days ago, the site is now on the first page of google for a few searches anyway..

    Are Sony going to take it off me ? should i contact them and ask if it is ok ? should i say nothing and hope the don't find it ? should i really be stressing so much ?

    I have made it very clear on the site that the site is not owned / affiliated with sony in anyway i have also noticed heaps of other playstation*******.com sites who are run by webmasters so by the looks of it they don't mind.

    If i was forced to hand the domain over would i receive any form of compensation ?:rolleyes:

    Thanks in advance for your advice.

    They could. Playstation is a registered Trademark of Sony Inc.

    Nope. Then they will definitely take it, especially if the site is about the video game console.
    Yep, that is what people do that have Trademarked names.
    Yep. I wouldn't depend on the income (if any) too much.
    There is no way for you to know that for sure unless they specifically told you it was O.K., or you have already consulted with an Attorney and were given the "all clear" based on past, and present case law.

    Lol. Of course not.

    Your domain should not bring any trouble if you write good things about the PlayStation console.
