it's easy to see it that way when a big corporation is involved, but average people and small businesses get fucked by cybersquatters too.

On balance I tend to side against the cybersquatters. They are not providing any value to anyone, just leeching dollars from the economy.

We're not talking about an individual, we're talking about Lamborghini. I think cybersquatting Lamborghini is fine.

You have to think one step beyond this specific instance. Laws apply to everyone consistently.

So do you want to let cybersquatters fuck everyone just for the sake of fucking Lamborghini? Or is it better to get rid of these leeches who are providing no value to anyone but themselves?

Laws apply to everyone consistently.

I fucking wish!

I wasn't talking about any laws. I was talking about one specific cybersquatter.

that’s the point, you can’t do that.
