  Is choosing a domain on WordPress safe in regards to copyright infringement? WordPress allowed me to select a free domain for my blog. Does WordPress perform a thorough search to determine that no other company uses this same domain (so that I can not be sued in the future, by said company, for copyright infringement)? Thank you, PJ

  Hi PJ,

  it’s not possible to register a domain that already exists, they are unique. When purchasing a domain, you’ll see the ones that are available, meaning that nobody registered those.
  Have a look at this article, it may also be helpful:
