If you are talking about the domain name, yes, there is copyright infringement. As long as nobody notices you, it's ok. But if you're not noticed by the brand owners then you're not noticed by buyers as well. So, there is no point risking all your hard work for better serps on specific keywords. On the other hand, there are many other ways to greatly improve your rankings without risk involved. @JR, ok. If you are talking about the domain name, yes, there is copyright infringement.

And if you read trademark terms of use, which most of the big companies have on their sites, most explicitly prohibit the use of any or all of their trademarked names in the domain. @papi

It really requires hard word work and effort. Its a continuous process with no limitations. Thanks. Hi,

And I am not sure what you mean by saying "URL". As far as I can understand you mean the whole URL and not only the domain name. But even in their affiliate programs many brands allow the use of their name in the URLs as long as it is after the 3rd "/" (i.e. http://www.example.com/brandnamehere).
