In that case, my apologies, this is the edge-case of a domain-transfer of a domain that was truly being used. The way I had read things, it sounded as though you parked a two-letter domain on a sketchy web-cam site.
And regarding the public resource, it really is a public resource. You may have to go through a registrar, but it is open for any and all to register. In the case of "squatters", it is the same as attempting to rent a parking space. Something meant for the public to use which requires a nominal fee.
- bcohen5055 12y agoI'd say it's closer to real estate than a parking spot... Think of a book store that has a great business but it is located in the middle of a bar district. At some point the property is more valuable than the business and it makes sense to sell it so someone else can develop a business that better leverages the location.
- jacquesm 12y agoThat is by far the best explanation, better than I could have said it myself. Thank you, you nailed it perfectly.
- 67726e 12y agoExcept you do not own it, you rent it. Most folks who sell domains just pick one up for a few bucks and try to charge a ridiculous fee to transfer it. You are taking a publicly available address and extorting someone who actually intends to use it.
