Maybe it's for someone called Rio (like Rio Ferdinand) playing some games

 

In which case it would be RiosGames - possessive pronoun minus apostrophe.

 

Hmm Rios games sounds more like games Rio has made more than Rio playing games

Wales. Where men are men and sheep are afraid.

Like Olympic athletes, Olympic trademarks enjoy a privileged status. The Olympic trademarks are protected by a statute over and above ordinary trademark protection. According to Rule 7 of the Olympic Charter, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is granted ownership of the Olympic rings as well as the Olympic flag, motto, anthem, identifiers, designations, emblems, the Olympic flame and torches (the “Olympic properties”). All rights to any and all of the Olympic properties belong exclusively to the IOC, including rights to their use such as in relation to profit-making, commercial or advertising purposes.

The IOC regularly issue UDRPs and the ccTLD equivalents against anyone registering any name containing the word "olympic".

As to how the IOC could possibly take exception against the word "Rio" would be an entirely new ballgame. In addition to the tens of thousands of gTLDs and ccTLDs (containing "rio" but NOT "olympic") there are now over 6,100 people who have pre-registered/ their domains in the forthcoming .RIO suffix shortly to be announced by ICANN.

 

So you actually just insulted two people who *haven't* posted on the thread. Nice.

 

I own an "olympic " domain and I left one to expire ( had it for years ). Never heard anything from anyone.. "We" have previous use of the term.
"Rio games" have nothing to do with olympics ..

 

No such domains have been posted here.

Depending on the market, the game "Angry Birds" as produced by Rio Games.

In addition, I registered RioGames.com back in 2004, many years before Rio had ever even mentioned as a possible Olympic host city.

 

Sorry Tasos, I recently turned down a £1,500 offer for the domain.

 

You know as much as anyone the intended 'purpose' of the domain, and the potential of putting the site admin in a difficult situation.

 

You should have taken it. Within 6months it will be reg fee. I don't think Rio makes that many games.

 

It worths a lot more. That was just a starting bid .

 

Thanks for the email Chris. Colourful. I suggest an anger management program, and a hope that we never meet in person. I don't 'have a problem with you', just with your attitude.
