Cybersquatting and the global financial crisis

Good evening.



As always, somewhere closer to the release of the project, the question of choosing a domain name arises.

And here the most interesting begins.



Naturally, all good domain names are occupied. Yes, I do not argue, the quality of the service does not depend on the domain name, but it is created for a wide audience (including the so-called "housewives"), so the name should be easy to read, remember and so on. And for advertising this name is much better.



So, the name of the project consists of two words, respectively, four variants of the domain name - on the contrary and through a hyphen.

Of course, everyone is busy. All right, we go to addresses, we look. On two - standard cybersquatting stubs, on the third - a stub, but at first glance it is not visible that they want to sell the domain, the fourth address does not respond.

We climb in whois, we write letters with the text "hello, sell the domain".

')

And now the key.

For domains costing 600 rubles are asked from 320,000 rubles . No, you heard right - from 320,000. This is more than 53 thousand percent of the yield. Not a bad business, right?



Now for a moment let's get distracted by the second tag of the topic. What is the global financial crisis, in terms of the man in the street?

Some uncles (and aunts) sit at the computer and sell the currency, stocks and so on. Without doing anything, i.e. naturally parasitizing on someone else's work.

I don’t naturally fit in my head, as it is: a crowd of parasites, profiting from speculations and resale created by someone else’s hands, to the fucking mother drops the economy of many countries, worsening the already not great standard of living of the population (by the way hands create speculation objects for these assholes).

This is normal?!



Well, okay, distracted, back. However, the analogy suggests itself.

Cybersquatters are the same crowd of parasites that speculate with domains, which naturally prevents the free use of domain names. Reselling something at a price above par for more than 500 times - this is called “huckster huckster”.



There is not a single three-letter domain in Runet. They are used for their intended purpose (they are used for live projects), well, at best, twenty percent. And even less.



Legally, we have this, of course, is not regulated at all, and various gatherings such as ICANN will prefer to close their eyes to this problem.

I do not know what to do about it. Just sharing my thoughts.

And I send a ray of diarrhea to uyebanam.



Thank you for your attention and sorry for the mate, sad.
