Ok, I have launched www.cheap-nike-shoes.com 2 days ago and just thought about copyrights now... how stupid I'm.... Anyway, I learned on that forum that i can't have such URL or the day I get number 1 in google for nike shoes, I'll get shut... So I'm going to change the domain name and remove the Nike logo from my site and get a new domain for it. MY PLAN IS: 1) Get a new domain (without NIKE in it) 2) Make content related to NIKE. So my question is, if I make an adsense site about NIKE and that I provide informations about NIKE shoes such as NIKE air max, NIKE golf shoes... See www.cheap-nike-shoes.com, do I have the right to talk on my site about NIKE shoes? Or will I get lawyers after me once the site becaume to big? I have big plans for it... Please give me sure informations... Thanks in advance...
I seen this site: http://www.instyleshoes.com/ it stats "We are not a Nike Dealer but an independent retailer " I checked the all site, and nike is never used in any URL of the site but in the content with other name such as Nike Air Max Nike Air Max Nike Running To make it short, my question is can I set up a site where I use terms like Nike Air Max Nike Air Max Nike Running Anyone?
You are talking about trademark infringement - and yes, you should not include it in your url. You can make a site that contains information about Nike shoes as long as it is clear that you are not trying to represent yourself as Nike. A disclaimer will help. Copyright infringement would be if you took text from another site (including Nike) or used any images without permission.
