You have valid points... I think it sucks that people can sit on domains without using them but you can always make the argument for why they should be allowed

You have valid points... I think it sucks that people can sit on domains without using them but you can always make the argument for why they should be allowed to.
So now I have to decide between a .tv or .io domain (or hey I can use .rocks, .world, .xyz!!!)
Do you think it is too risky to keep a name for a social startup (that has big potential) when the .com is taken? if it gets funded and gains traction, is there more of a chance of acquiring the domain down the line?
- detaro 11y agoHave you checked if you have legal means to get the domain? Here in Germany a trademark holder would have reasonable chances of getting control of a domain for the trademark if it isn't used.
- tallerholler 11y agoI haven't checked but it's a valid point. I think we're going to register the trademark anyways just in case it helps the cause. One of my co-founders says he thinks that registering it after the fact won't have much affect but who knows. Also, the defunct public relations company that had the same name appears to not be in business and hasnt been for at least ~4-5 years...
