I bought a previously owned domain

[Matt G]

I have a domain that was owned in 2003 but unregistered in 2004, Is it okay for me to put on the copyright notice?

[NinJa_12]

i would of thought so if its unregistered but hell im not too much of an expert in things like that.......maybe someone else here can help better

I too think that you can if it's unregistered, but I'm not sure.

[Diabolic]

You can do this if its un-registered.

If you own the domain then it is your property and you now own that name.. so yes you can. It's like buying a house, as long as you pay your mortgage every month it is yours.. so similar principles!!

[Simba]

If you purchased it, it's yours and he can't do anything about it. It's totaly acceptable to put your copyrights on it.

[Lith]

If you bought it you can. He/she doesn't own it anymore, you do. So you can copyright your own work.

[Buzz Lightyear]

It is yours now. Of course you can!

[Blacklite]

You can do it if it's unregistered, good luck.

I had this problem. I own the domain - professionalgamingleague.com . The person that owns the name though will not let me use it as my own site. As of now, I have it redirecting to my gaming league site which is the beta stage. www.apglpro.com , you will see when you go to the first link, it redirects to apglpro. I contacted goDaddy about this, and they told me if they have a copyright on the name, then I can't use it to make any money, which is why I just have it redirected.
