click on the link titled: "Thinking about legal action on a Domain, You'd better read this!" after browsing the domains to see how much of a prick this guy is...
or... am i just overreacting? i don't think this should be legal since he's not using the names for anything but profit.
what do you think?

when i see what some companies will pay for a logo that probably took 10 minutes to create.... it wouldn't surprise me to see 'em pay those prices for a domain name...
this guy would sell you your own soul if he could get his grimy hands on it.

definitely sucks. i've heard of this before. i'm not sure if it's "UNFAIR" perhaps morally it is. seems like everyone is out to make a buck today. ...

Hasn't this been going on for years?

is it me or am i misunderstood? isnt this practice illegal? i could have sworn it is...
and yes, i agree - i hope this assh*le doesnt make any money, but the sad part is he is probably making a really good living out of it.
someone should register http://www.stevengregorysucks.co… or http://www.stevengregoryisagreed… --- since he *obviously* forgot to grab those....
lol
peace

the guy is just trying to make a buck - he's doing nothing illegal - i say fair fucks to him - if he got there first on a domain, then he's entitled to do what he wants with it.

Who in their right mind goes: 'Hmm, I need a new jumper, I'll go to Jumper.com'...
Just sounds like an ego thing to me.

....nothing´s fair; right question must therefore be:
"is this funny enough to bother yourself with"

When the web was young, many money grubbers did exactly the same thing he is doing, except they actually took names from known or blooming or would be corporations names, so that they could be bought out later. I think this guy is a little too late, as there are so many alternatives to .com that you'd have to be a biz newbie to buy one of those...except maybe veteransday.com

the problem i see is that he's squatting on these domain names that people could be using right now... and he's not doing anything with them!!!
EXCEPT, pointing them to a porn site! what does that mean? it means if some company knows their target audience is trying to find them all they'll see is a porn site, which is more incentive for them to buy the names regardless of the cost so they can associate the domain name w/ something besides porn.
people like this are sick, in my opinion. is it legally wrong??? nope, but i think it shold be. i'm sorry, but i hope someone does have one of these names trademarked and takes him to court and makes a mint off his greedy ass!
