UKNM: "cybersquatter"

[William Robb]

I keep hearing and reading the term "cybersquatter", but what does it

actually mean?


I agree that if I register a name which is already a trademark or registered

mark, then  that is "cybersquatting".


If I register the name of a well-known company which is not a trademark is

that cybersquatting?


If I register a well-known person's name e.g. BaronessMargaretThatcher.com

is that cybersquatting?


If I register my own name, but 1000 other people have that name - is that

cybersquatting?


Do I detect a general feeling that speculating by buying lots of domain

names for sale later, is distasteful?


Kind regards,


Bill Robb
