Isn't the title misleading?
- The guy wasn't domain squatting at all.
- They weren't Wedgies.com (they were Wedgi.es)
- They didn't sidestep him at all. They negotiated fairly.
If you like domain stories, check out Klouts.. (Which I actually prefered to this story). I kind of felt mislead after reading this artciel (albeit it was an enjoyable story).

- drharris 14y agoThe title is also misleading because it claims they "sidestepped" the owner. They did not sidestep the owner at all; they tracked him down and paid for the domain.Sidestepping would have been filing a complaint with ICANN about the lack of proper contact information. Which would have been cheaper and possibly quite effective.
