Cybersquatting, Domain Stories
|
Hi Everyone!
I want to share an article i found in The New York Times, the article talking about people that registering trademarks domain names, The article wrote in 1994.
Unfortunately, today people still registering trademarks domain names, those people are “Cybersquatting”.
My opinion is that people will not change unless the education and the awareness will pickup.
In the beginning, the Internet was like the “Wild Wild West”, everyone was doing what ever they want because there was no rules to guide them.
Cybersquatting is happening because there is a lot of greedy people in the world that looking for the easy money.
I think the answer is education but more i think the solution is in companies that allow you register these domains.
What will be more easy to try educate a minor not to access a porn site or just block the option from him???
Great week everybody.

Acutally, you are wrong about the rules. There were all kinds of rules in 94′ and 95′.
You could only register one domains by the rules
You could not register religous names without certain documents from the gov’t showing you were a church or religuous entitiy
You could not register domains with the seven prohibited cuss words
It goes on an on…..but what happend is that those that made the rules realized they could not enforce them as they were looking at millions of domains to police.
I know all this b/c I started regging in Aug. 1995.

Hi Johnny !
First Thank you for the Comment.
When i wrote “In the beginning, the Internet was like the “Wild Wild West”, everyone was doing what ever they want because there was no rules to guide them”.
I talk about the general Internet and not specific about domain registration…
But again great comment, Thank you.
