I am not sure if he has trademarked his name here in the UK or the US. The site makes no claims it is offical but doesn't state it isn't and the design is a near copycat of the design feel our cleint uses offline and has a big mugshot of our client on the front page.
All links are affilate links who are selling our clients merchandise except one which is a bio and a contact page.
Links to it say it is the "Official Site".
It would be touch and go if it was a .co.uk domain.
Anyone studied what would happen under the Icann rules?
I own a US domain for a famous UK name. But haven't developed the site yet because I didn't want to incurr in copyright /trademark violations.
I was questioned by the UK webmaster in this regard and my answer was that he should prove they own worldwide trademarks for the name, otherwise tough luck.
It would be great to have an international trademark lawyer providing insights into this. I can't wait to have my US domain "uk famous name" up. hehe.
