Michael Jackson Online Casino?

One brave entrepreneur is in trouble along with the site that sold him the domain name MichaelJacksonCasino.com.

The site was taken down almost immediately and featured an image of Jackson’s “Moonwalker” film and suggested that Jackson, the “King of Pop” was going to bring players the “most exciting Vegas-style online casino betting experience on the Net!”

Jackson’s estate argued that the person or persons who bought the domain name didn’t have permission to use Jackson trademarks or Jackson’s likeness. According to TMZ.com, Howard Weitzman, who is the attorney for the Jackson estate, said he would take whatever steps were necessary to get the site taken down. Most believe that his bid was successful since the site is no longer operational.

But others might also be in trouble. According to Fox News, the site GoDaddy.com, which is a major domain name registrar and the company that sold the MichaelJacksonCasino.com domain name, will be or is being sued for $100 million by another Howard –Howard Mann. That Howard argues that the site was using photos that Mann owns the copyrights to.

Many believe that Mann’s interest is mostly at getting GoDaddy to release the name of the person or persons who bought the MichaelJacksonCasino.com domain name.

The troubled and trendsetting Jackson died in June 2009.
