| This video was interesting, but I feel it neglects the underlying moral dilemma facing the trade: what right do these individuals have to domain name profiteering? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Viewing the internet as an open market is shortsighted and dangerous to individual freedoms. |

| However, if you purchase a name that is already part of a company's product or business, then you are asking for trouble, even if it's only a partial use of the name. It's better to keep things generic and that way all rights to the domain name are yours. Likewise, if you come up with a name and a company then uses it, prior to registering the name as part of their product line, it is YOU that is entitled to compensation from any monies made on products marketed with that name, not the company! |
