Using Lyrics (or Reworded Lyrics) As a Website Address

[anonymous974]

I am interested using song lyrics as a domain name (website address) for example the songs lyrics are ..... "thoughts and images control me"

My research has led me to believe thoughtsandimagescontrolme.com would be a no go. But could I use imagesandthoughtscontrolme.com ?

Short phrases are ordinarily not subject to copyright. Trademark, possibly. But these issues can't be addressed in the abstract.

Copyright does not protect names, titles, slogans, or short phrases. In some cases, these things may be protected as trademarks. Contact the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, 800-786-9199, for further information. However, copyright protection may be available for logo artwork that contains sufficient authorship. In some circumstances, an artistic logo may also be protected as a trademark.

Here's an interesting exercise and it gives insight to the reasoning:
Try to reword the exact same meaning (not altering the meaning at all if possible).
If you find there's only a couple of ways to word it, then it's probably not protectable with copyright.

The longer a passage is, the more different ways you can say it.

On a practical note, do you really want such a long, difficult domain name?
