Default Re: Devinn Lane Files Suit Against Vivid, Digital Playground, Others

Since it appears that XBiz is hungry for a comment I will not fully respond to RawAlex but I can tell you that you are incorrect in your analysis of trademark law.

Copyright is a much different animal. Fair use does not apply to trademark. Licensed content does not equate to rights to use her name in a top level domain name.

If your post is indicative of your business practices when it comes to owning and profiting from the names of performers, I strongly suggest that you seek an opinion from an attorney experienced in trademark law.
