It may be the case that in some weird domain squatting affiliate marketing universe, someone would be able to make money from basecamp.com if 37 signals still ran things on basecamphq.com, but are you honestly saying that if they weren't, then Atlassian would seriously be interested in buying basecamp.com for some nefarious purpose? That they'd have been able to somehow prevent basecamp from becoming the dominant player it has by redirecting basecamp.com to the Jira homepage so that people would try and find basecamp.com then just think "fuck it, well I'm here now, I'll just use this". I don't buy it ... do you have any actual examples of this having happened?
