Hi everyone.
Just made an account on this site because i'm curious if a particular channel name would get me copyright issues.
I play Fortnite, and my in-game name is "KalElWayne91" and i'd like to use this name for my youtube channel name.
Problem is, Kal El is the name of Superman, and Wayne is Batman's last name, both characters owned by DC Comics/Warner Brothers.
My question is: Do youtube channel names get copyright issues if the name is owned by a company? Even if the channel content isn't related to those properties at all?
2 big youtubers come to mind: Vegetta777 (name owned by Toei Animation) and Superwoman (owned by DC Comics). These are big youtubers with tens of millions of views.
Thanks in advance!
