: Can media corportation take away my domain name? Recently i've noticed that there is actually free cool domain name, let's say 'googleinsider.com`. Buy this domain is my dream and for some money

The big legal question is whether visitors to your website will confuse you with the corporate Google. If you set up a math website that talked about 10^100 and all its implications, you'd likely be fine (especially if you included a "I have nothing to do with Google™" statement on every page). If you set up a "I work for Google, and here's all the inside dirt!" then you wouldn't.

However, whether or not you'd be in the right is less important than whether Google decides to come after you. Remember Jeph Jacques's website walmart.horse? If he had the will (and the legal budget) he probably could have kept it, but in the end it just wasn't worth the trouble.

So, if you're thinking about tweaking Google, consider how you'd handle the possible results. It may not be worth the trouble.
