There should be an easy way through which you can complain against the squatters online. Maybe Google should act as a mediator here as they can blacklist any domain from their searches and thus hold about as much power as the registrars/ICANN.
In any case, what happened afterwards? Did you get back your domain or is it still being squatted?
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoIt's still being squatted. I own other TLDs for it we can operate the site off of. I'm hoping eventually they abandon the domain, since it's unlikely anyone else will want it.
- rms_returns 10y agoDid you try complaining to ICANN about it via any means? An alternative is to throw a DMCA on them through Google, that's much faster (though its intended use is reporting of copyright violations, not sure how it'll work for reporting of squatting of domain names).
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoICANN wants you to file a dispute. Filing a dispute costs more than paying the squatter.
