Asked by napap 6 months ago, 5 answers.

Hello! I registred the domain mysok, and afterwards when I googled it I found out that there where a town or a city or something in kazakstan named mysok... Have I done something illegal?

No...I don't think city names are copyrighted, and if you have your own logo, then it's obviously just a case of one word having more than one meaning.
