Is it legal to use secondary titles from other people's works (games, movies, etc.) as your domain name?

Question

Copyright

Hello!
I want to make a website dedicated to, say, the movie Game of Thrones. What is the probability that the lawyers of the authors of the Game of Thrones will knock on me if I register the winterfell.ru domain (the domain includes the name of the kingdom from the novel) and in the future I will earn from advertising on this site, but at the same time indicating that the rights to winterfell belong to the creators of Game of Thrones?
Or, for example, hadagan.rf - the name of the empire from the Allods game? etc.

Answer 1

Thanks for answers!
I looked for more information and came across such a moment - copyright applies to the work, including the title and content of the work.
Wouldn't the use of such a title be interpreted as a fragment of a work?
I found a link , it says:
To recognize a part of a work (name of a work) as an object of copyright, it must:
be the result of creative activity;
have the ability to be used independently in isolation from the main work. .
That is, it turns out that for winterfell and Mordor they can present, but for a hobbit and an elf - no, because the first were born in creative agony, and they can be distinguished apart from the main work, and the second are popular folk heroes of legends and epics, the author no longer installed.

Answer 2

Registered trademarks - you can not, the rest - you can.
For example, Fallout - you can not, ghoul (Ghoul) - you can.
In principle, it is possible to register a domain in any case, but in case of violation, the domain can then be revoked. But not necessarily. Lots of examples, like sites with "sims" or "sims3" in their titles. It’s just that the copyright holder doesn’t itch, that’s all (and, by the way, he acts wisely).
Again, if this is a composite domain like mods-for-fallout.com, then it is unlikely that anyone will be outraged because you are not trademarking. But in case of conflict, the court will decide the dispute.
Kingdoms from the novel, the name of the empire - it's all possible. Moreover, the authors do not own the rights to these titles, so there is no need to write about it. More examples: hobbit, elf, mordor, alien, etc.

Answer 3

It is illegal without the written permission of the trademark owner.
In some cases, they can reclaim the domain and receive compensation .
In some cases, such sites may be tacitly encouraged. Or just wait until the site is promoted better, and then step 1.

Answer 4

Greetings from winterfell is bad, they have documented everything used in the series, down to phrases. There have already been about a dozen stories about how HBO sued a person out of the blue, like this one. Fortunately, there are few such ferocious right-wingers.
