Default Celebrity Names

Would this be a copyright issue if you build a fansite with the celebrity name on the domain?

It is always a copyright or trademark issue when you take someone's name and profit from them.

But lots of celebrities do not always see it as a bad thing. I guess some sites are good publicity for the celeb.

I would think if the site was positive and not being used in a derogatory or offensive fashion, they might not care to do anything.

I never heard of any celebrity who can after a site because his or her name is in the site's domain.

I think its okay to use celebrity names its not there real names anyway. It wont bother them I guess, it gives credit to them instead.

In computer networking, a domain name is a name given to a collection of network devices that belong to a domain which is an administrative space managed according to some common characteristics of the members.
