I remember here some nasty comments about the previous owner of the dropbox.com domain (similar situation of an old unused domain), calling him squatter etc when Dropbox finally acquired it.
- rgbrenner 11y agoOK.. let's check that. here's the HN post for it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=880522 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=880522 Let's look at some of the comments: - Finally, I don't think this owner, nor Justintv.com, are cybersquatters since they owned their domains since the 90's. - I agree with you, but in this case the original owner wasn't a squatter. - note that I don't like squatters either, but who can tell that he wasn't legitimate when he registered it first? - Not to mention that he registered it in the 90's! How does that possibly count as squatting? Nope.. not really seeing any "nasty comments"
