The domain name is a play on a popular word which represents a popular event. This domain name is gold in my opinion. It's funny, it's <B>very</B> memorable and it's catchy. It has hilarious marketing possibilities and would be kickass for a party sex paysite (maybe even better for a gay party sex site).

The thing is, the name of the event is, of course, trademarked. The domain plays off the word but I don't think there is any honest chance of confusion because of the obvious play on the word and the difference in subject matter. I wonder if I could get away with developing a site on this domain.

Can someone point me to good resources where I can research the lagality of this sort of thing?
