It all depends on how the name is used, and what the trademark is for. For your examples, the first URL, "honda-drive-test.com", would be illegal, firstly because Honda is a registered car company, and secondly, because it makes it sound like it is a website owned by Honda.

Usually it is illegial, but really it only is if the site URL can confuse a person into thinking that the site is officially owned by the owner of the trademark. That is why Microsoft recently had to sue an anonymous company, and why your second site, "why-trap17-rocks.com", probably wouldn't be illegal. wink.gif

    Hey guys how's it going! I just had a quick question about changing domain names. My domain
    now is fearclan.trap17.com, and I wanted to change it to fearclan.org. How should I do it? Do I use
    the credit system and it will give me my own domain for free? Or do I have to buy a domain name from
    godaddy or something and then change it? I really need an answer for this as soon as possible.

    CO.CC - http://www.co.cc/ Domain Mapping is the process of pointing a registered domain name to a
    blog or photo album. Domain mapping is more than domain forwarding (Free domains that are ending
    with .tk and .co.nr), because your permalinks and URL contain the address of your domain
    (www.you.co.cc), and not a sub-domain (example.trap17.com). You can map a CO.CC domain to your blog
    or photo album. In order to use domain mapping, you must create and modify A , MX , and
    CNAME records. CO.CC supports free DNS services. This means that CO.CC gives you cont....
