    You can feel however you like, but the law doesn't care about your feelings and that's not the way it works in the real world.

    Google is way beyond being a search engine at this point, so that's quite irrelevant.

    Excellent plan.

    Use a crappy domain name with obvious TM issues.
    Take the time to develop it, market it, etc...
    Make it big.
    Then let is expire and have to start all over again.

    Here's a better plan.

    Get a decent domain name.
    Take the time to develop it, market it, etc...
    Make it big.
    Enjoy the income for the rest of your life.

    The only issue you may have is that you will not be allowed to display adsense on it.
    Nobody will sue you.

    Because you haven't read Google or any trademark holder doing that lately?
    Microsoft is already doing that without even sending a C&D, what's to stop
    others from doing the same?

    Nobody said you will get sued. But if Google finally decides to turn you into a
    good example, you can bet no tears will be shed.

    It depends on what you use it for. Don't run a search engine on it and don't use their logo and you should be ok.

    IMHO.....

    Google can take that domain away from you, plain and simple, if they wanted to, so its risky registering ANYTHING with the word google in it.

    Basically, you are using the word google in your domain name, I reckon their lawyers can "more than likely" convince a court or wipo board that its confusingly similar with their trademark.

    Like everyone, if google has an itch they will scratch it.

    As long as you dont become an itch in their behinds, they wont scratch you.

    In short, if Google pose you as a threat, they will wipe the floor with you.

    We are not talking about a little corner shop bakery here, we are talking about a multi BILLION dollar business with teams, no, buildings full of lawyers whos speciality is what? Internet Law.

    Its risky mate, I would just keep your head low and dont bank on your kids college fund with the revenue you make from the domain.

    It's probably not legal. And look at your avatar...very similar, if not copied and pasted.

    Well...neither of the sites are well known, and his icon doesn't look exactly like the G in the real Google's logo.
