Hi Guys !
I want to share with you a “cybersquatting” story, I saw this morning in “ABC30.com”.
Bernard Berrian a wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings, is dealing with a Fresno realtor Ryan Perkins who try to make a profit from Bernard domain name.
Ryan registered the domain “BernardBerrian.com” in 2004 after Bernard finished his career at Fresno State and was drafted into the NFL.
Ryan try to sell the domain on Craigslist, for one thousand dollar.
When Berrian wanted the website, his attorneys say Ryan wanted even more.
“He was demanding I believe two thousand dollars plus tickets to the Minnesota Vikings – Green Bay Packers game and an autographed football that stated thank you for your help in obtaining my domain name signed Bernard Berrian.”

Yep, the guy is a cybersquatter and stories like this continue to give our industry a black eye because the press would rather jump on this instead of saying something positive.

I agree with you David…
The reason I bring it to the table is Education !
Most people that doing “CyberSquatting”, don’t know that they could get in Trouble for that.
They don’t have the knowledge.
So, I think its important to show them, What happened to people that doing “CyberSquatting”.
Thank you for the comment!
