Look, I think what you do is legal and should be legal. But I think you're letting your emotions from people criticizing you get in the way of your logic. >> If the squatter would not have taken it then it would've been available for $10 > Absolutely positively the biggest myth out there. He didn't literally mean that without squatters, every domain would be available and you know it. Of course someone could still beat you to it but the problem most people have is with squatters not Google owning a random name that they don't want to sell (unfortunate but I think they have good reason to keep it and it's not a major problem for most people). When someone has an idea and goes through 100 names before finding something available to register, the odds are that approximately 100 of those will be in use or squatters (often the majority), not Google unwilling to sell. Take away the squatters (again, I'm not suggesting it should be illegal) and you've solved a big problem for a lot of people. That's just the way it is. You don't have to care and you can rationalize it to yourself all you want but it doesn't change that fact.
