Arbitration of Netflix vs. domain squatter (June, 2019)
- Normal_gaussian 7y agoEarlier today I tried to visit Reddit (a moment of procrastination), mistyped it, and instead visited "reddkt.com". This contained to mildly alarming message: "You have been redirected here by the Starnoise research project. This redirect is temporary, things will return to normal. All the best, Michael Brooks" A few searches of salient terms later I determined I hadn't in fact fallen prey of a research team but to a domain squatter and my own fat fingers. I found this arbitration document interesting, and have had quite a few lively discussions about the lines between researchers, bounty hunters, and extortionists today!
