Celebrities Fighting for Names: It’s All a Publicity Stunt
As I continue reading the domaining news each day, I keep on seeing celebrities getting all of this publicity when they’re fighting for their domain name. The most recent story I heard was Kate Hudson fighting for her name, reported here on Domain Name Wire.
To be honest, I think all of these celebrities are pulling a publicity stunt. That’s what everything’s about with these celebrities these days. Numerous times, I have talked about when I got my cease and desist letter a long time ago from one of the top PGA golfers. I gave him the name, and guess what he did with it…NOTHING. Many of these celebrities who go after their names don’t do a thing with them.
As I said, it’s all a publicity stunt. They’re pulled out of the spotlight, but then they spend a few thousand dollars on an intellectual property lawyer, and they’re back in the spotlight. I’d like to get your comments on this, so make sure to submit them below!
I’m going to keep it short and simple. I 100% agree!
You’re reaching! I don’t see the correlation at all! Heck, I’ve seen $XXX,XXX+ domain name sales at auctions, end up as no more than park pages, or less. And I’d highly doubt they spent all that money on a name, to ‘be in the spotlight’ for a day! It’s more about acquiring (and control of) the name, while it’s relevent to that someone, rather than letting/leaving others have it.
