    Default googleblog.com or onlineyahoo.com

    Just curious to know, is it legal to use such domain which contain a company name. Can they claim on such domain like googleblog.com or onlineyahoo.com

    I don't have much idea, so need your advice.

    Thanks

    Depends on the company.If you have an agreement with them to perhaps promote their products then chances are it will not be a problem.

    To simply register such names and use them without permission is asking for trouble.

    for sure they will claim, so avoid using such names and brand names of companies - after you get popularity and traffic you would loose them.. they may raise dispute on these domains.

    It is not legal to do business with those domains, they will definitely make a claim
