They may go after it, but under WIPO and UDRP rules, that’s a critique/satirical domain that is perfectly legitimate. How do you think that the following site is still up, when PayPal is such a huge giant (financially)?

Reminds me of the Kazaa days where there was allll kinds of “typo squatters” and “3rd party clients” all claiming to be the real kazaa, only they were infected with viruses (more than the regular Kazaa, that is).

I also see this kind of stuff in the phish/spam communities too…the criminals register “look alike domains” that look/sound legit, so they can phish for ebay, paypal, gaming accounts….

This company will die very soon.
