Hi,

I’m looking into creating a blog website, and I have purchased the domain “dedsec.org”. Ubisoft holds the rights to the name dedsec so I was wondering if I should sell it or not? I bought the domain for $20. I plan to just post about Libreboot and other hacking stuff on it. Maybe, if its legal, can I possibly use the domain for my computer store?

Edit: switched EA to Ubisoft

    Businesses of a different industry can use the same name. There is nothing keeping you from using the website for blogging. The computer store might be problematic if it could be construed you are trying to profit from EA’s established trademark. Also, why would you want a .org for a storefront? I’d say get a different domain for your computer store.
