I'd imagine every person that is using the phrase "domain-squatting parasite" in this thread has a couple, if not a handful of domains, that they aren't using right now and would charge a premium for if they were asked to sell. hypocritical to say the least.
Are you the same a strong that was squatting on frederics.com a typo of Fredericks of Hollywood, a domain you used to advertise products of competitors to Fredericks? Are you the same a strong that was sqautting on TrumpCardCasino.com which you used to divert traffic intended for trump to slot site advertising the services of competitors to Trump? Both of these names were taken away from you by way of legal proceedings initiated by the respective trademark holders. It is actions like these that define cybersquatting and label you, and those like you, as domain squatting parasites. Whos the real hypocrit
I own a few domain names that I had really big plans for--but just haven't gotten around to developing them (so they're parked at the moment).
Does that make me a domain-squatting parasite? I sure hope not!
