I hate cybersquatters and you should too!

January 2nd, 2009

Cybersquatting (don’t you just love that word?) is defined by Wikipedia as:

Cybersquatting (also known as domain squatting), according to the United States federal law known as the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, is registering, trafficking in, or using a domain name with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else. The cybersquatter then offers to sell the domain to the person or company who owns a trademark contained within the name at an inflated price.

Cybersquatting costs legitimate businesses untold amounts of money. It is about time one of us cost them some money!

Verizon just won over $33 million dollars in a cybersquatting lawsuit!

Verizon just struck a big blow for legitimate trademark and business owners everywhere when they won a record $33.15 million judgment against Internet domain registrar OnlineNIC for cybersquatting. That is A LOT of cash!
