Domain Squatting should be illegal

I'm sure there's legalities about this, and I don't even know if it's true, but it's worth looking into if you're serious about it. Couldn't hurt anyways. Cheers, Hammock |

Domains are first come, first serve, and it should stay like that... I also sort of agree with domain squatting. It is a dick move in a lot of ways, but the people who are enterprising enough to get their hands on domains deserve whatever they get for it (if they do).

If it was disputed, I don't think he'd have a leg to stand on...
Creation Date: 31-jan-2005, which was after this domain went live |

Copy rights to "Fortress Forever"? Who was in charge of this? Bob did you take care of that?
bob: Nope.. Sally said she had it covered. sally: No... I told you I would look into it to see what it took to get it done, I didnt saying I was completly taking care of it! Plus it was Joe that said he had the friend of a friend that knew how it was done. Joe: Cake anyone?

Not suggesting it's copyrighted.. rather the fact that the person has no reason to buy the domain other than for squatting purposes.
However, it's still all a very grey area |

domain squatting is immoral, luckily in a court you can get the domain back.
It's not enterprising... he is probably paying 5 dollars a month for it and is asking for an insane amoutn of money. When you buy property you have to pay large monthly mortgages so you are inclined to ask a fair price. This guy doesn't care if he sells it soon, he's just being a hinderance to the workings of the internet. He doesn't "deserve" anything simply for brainstorming the scam before anyone could do anything. If anyhting, all he deserves is a swift kick in the pants and face. |

Seems Fortress Forever would have a case... Anybody from the FF staff consider getting in touch with them and negotiating? |

Well I know you can offer a price, but I doubt they'd sell it for $0 haha.

It's not worth the trouble. If the noobs don't have the couple of brain cells to search Fortress Forever on google first they don't deserve to play the game and potentially ruin it for the rest of us.
