He says on his website that he will only transfer the lease of a domain, that he is currently leasing, for ten million dollars to an organization that wants it so they can actually use it.
- npsimons 14y agoHe's not a squatter. He's owned the domain for well over ten years, he has content on it, there are no ads and no parked page. By all criterion it looks like a personal domain. I suspect he only put up the "here's how much it would cost" because so many people kept pestering him with laughably stupid offers ("we'll give you discounts on our dairy products if you give the domain to us!"). He's using the domain, not holding it for ransom. Quite frankly, I don't think the web will be any poorer for having one less corporate media experience, especially from an industry that everyone already knows about. If they want a big glitzy advertising website, I'm sure Google will index it properly, no matter it's domain name. As for the owner of milk.com? He's put actual content up. Useful things. Interesting things. Things that took time to create and curate. This is not the M.O. of some squatter looking to make a quick buck. Especially with the whole "waiting for more than ten years" part.
