Domain name matching a book's title
 

I bought a domain name intended for porn but I have recently found there is a book (published in 2013) with a very smiliar name, the only difference is the "-ing" suffix in the book's title.

It's a shitty coincidence since I had thought the name up myself and the words combination is quite unusual. :mad:

My domain name: verb+noun .com
The book's title: verb(-ing) + noun

The words are same , the difference is just the "-ing" form. :disgust

Are there possible legal problems if I use the domain? No registered trademark was found by me.

As long as you aren't selling books on the domain you should be fine :)

Hard to say not knowing the name...

It's for a paysite. The book itself is quite unfamiliar.

1) Do a trademark search

If no trademark you're fine as book titles can't be copywritten.

Good luck! :thumbsup

Yes i was thinking same, having a trademarked book title would make problematic to write new books.

See? You can actually be a good guy. :winkwink:

If an author or publisher can't be arsed to pay $10 a year for the domain name of their book title, do you really think they're going to care about it?
