Domain Names Theft

I'm pissed motherf*ckers stole my domain name. Few days ago I decided to get a new domain name, I went to a register site, searched on it and it wasn't taken. Wow I couldn't believe it! So I design a business card. I'm not in a rush to register it since what are the chances that someone would think of the same name in a day or two? I go to register it today and guess what someone registered it yesterday.
I look up who registered it and its one of those companies who register mass domain names and then resells them. Obviously they have bot that records searches for unregistered names and then sends them to this company for resale. This should be illegal! Don't make the same mistake I made if you find a free domain name, take it right away or reseller company will steal it. |

I've got a similar name I'm going to register. I'm a little parnoid at the moment so I'm going to take care of business first.
I'm just pissed that domain search engines sell out your search to cybersquatters.| quote: | Originally posted by eRRaTiK

they have no intention of using the name. they're just holding it for resale/extortion purposes. |

Its all good I found a similar name and registered that. I sent Versign email and their reply was 'first come first serve'. If it isn't a trademarked business name like Walmart then tough luck.
They could easily stop the practice of cybersquatting if they forbid the transfer of domain names. That would remove the incentive of ppl who buy up and hold domains names with the intent to resell. But I realized that Versign makes a lot of money from cybersqautting so they wouldn't want to stop it. |
