Someone else's name as the domain (celebrity)

    I own the domain name of an up and coming athlete.

    What are my rights if he wants the domain?

    As long as I don't profit from it, it can't be taken from me correct?

    I really have no desire to hold the guy hostage over his domain or anything. I bought it simply because I am a fan and wanted to create a fan site, but I'm guessing at some point he will want it for his own.

    I don't want to put a lot of time and money into it, if I'm simply going to have to give it up.

    And don't confuse users that you're not the athlete, nor is s/he endorsing it,
    then you have a chance.
