Internet Economics: Supply, Demand & Assholes

Is there a lower form of life than domain squatters? Homeless, war criminals, hepatitis infected meth whores, MBA students, vegans, chiropractors, and pedophiles don’t really hurt anybody. Yes, they are all disgusting waste of humanity who contributes nothing to society (hey, who does?), but they aren’t crapping up the internet like domain squatters do.

I Own The Rights To This Shit Picture, If You Even Think Of Using It Without Paying Me A Million Dollars I Will Have Your Balls

For those of you not in the know, domain squatters buy up a bunch of domain names (i.e. sexyretards.com, badmotherfucker.net, jasoncurlesslovestosuckbigblackdicks.com) hoping that someday someone with actual talent, skill, creativity and a life will want to buy those domain names from them. Usually when you go to a site that’s being squatted, all you see is a bunch of ads and a message that says that domain name is for sale. Those dicklickers are domain squatters.

They’re essentially non-real estate speculators. They hold the sole use rights to an intangible object. Its kind of like what the NFL shiteaters did with the term ‘Super Bowl’. Remember a couple years ago when media outlets and bars stopped promoting Super Bowl Parties and Super Bowl contests? Instead it all changed to ‘Big Game In February’ or ‘The Game To Determine The NFL Champion’ or some other semantic bullshit equivalent of the ‘Super Bowl’? That’s because the pieces of shit who run the NFL began vigorously enforcing their trademark on the utterance of the word ‘Super Bowl’ and wanted a cut each time some bar or radio station used that term to promote a party or contest.

They literally own the phrase ‘Super Bowl’.

Domain squatters are worse than that. At least the NFL created the Super Bowl, runs it and actually jumped through the legal hoops to legitimatize their trademark. Domain squatters don’t even do that. They bought up words that they thought people might want to use to start a website and then sat back hoping to fuck them over when those people came looking for them.

Long live opportunistic censorship.
