Having problems will depend on many variables. If a site using that domain is discovered by the right folks, there could be horrendous trouble. The New York law is probably enforceable in New York alone, so that who ever uses the domain name will be vulnerable if not covered by similar laws. Also, just because something isn't a crime does not prevent losing your home and everything else through being sued out of existence. Civil actions can still take place.
Anyone using the domain would be wise to place a disclaimer on each page stating that it is not associated with the famous person.
