Thank you all for your suggestions.
I like "DJ D@wn" and actally I thought about just Dawn without the "DJ", too. It says just "Dawn" on a lot of flyers, anyway. But I don't know if all these are different enough to not interfere with the copyright. I mean, could you make a softdrink called Coc@-Col@ with no problems?

But you're right, I'll will check if he really owns the copyright before I change my name. But the guy seemed serious. He also took the name from 2 other guys who where using it that I didn't know of, before. DJ-Dawn.de is closed, too.
But it will take a while to find out, since I don't want to ask him. There's got to be some place where they have a list of all copyrighted names...I'll look for that.
Thanks, guys (and girls )
I'll keep you informed.

I did a search for you and what I found was:
DJDAWN.COM is taken. If you go to Register.com you can find out who owns it.
But...when I did a search of DJ Dawn to see if it was a registered trademark, I found that it was not registered as such (at least not in USA, Canada or Europe)
The name DJ Dawn can not be a copyright. It can be a trademark but it looks as though that has not been done, yet. Copyrights apply to things like pictures, music, books etc. but not to names. Trademarks apply to names.
You might want to check into getting it trademarked. I think it cost about $65 to have that done. Try going to
WWW.NAMEPROTECT.COM
If you can afford it, try applying for a trademark for DJ DAWN and if it is already taken...you will find out.
There is a chance that the person that sent you the E-mail is intending on trademarking the name but hasn't done so yet. So...you should move on this as quickly as possible.
Best of luck to you. I hope it works out for you.

When you want to register a name you have to go to the place in your country where you register a company. Start a firm named DJ Dawn and then you will automaticly get a trademark for the name DJ Dawn. This works in Finland and I think it should work there too. You have to check the regulations about international trademaks as well to get it registered in the whole world. Hope this helps.

yeah...about domains and shit, i would use a registering company like network solutions (www.networksolutions.com), some company's screw you over...i have a friend who had that happen to him. so use network solutions imo. they're good.
