So is it legal to start websites with these domain names. They will
not be associated with google or youtube or Orkut. They may provide
some services which may be in parallel with youtube or orkut. OR they
may provide services which are not related to orkut or youtube.
SO my basic question is : IS it legal to develop such kind of
websites? (if one already owns the domain). (DO ask me if u need any
clarification for the question)
