And of course it has nothing to do with sour grapes from people who either weren't involved in the Internet early enough to snap up good names, or were but didn't see the potential.


Buying up someone else's company name as a domain name cannot be condoned - and the courts take a dim view (see One In A Million).


Buying up generic names such as business.com before the masses realise the value is an entrepreneurial initiative that deserves to be applauded.


And no I don't own any nice generic myself. But if I find one, I'll snap it up - as would anyone else in their right mind.


"Hello, I've got something here for under �100 that you can sell in a year for �1,000,000 perfectly legally and without harming anyone, do you want it?"

"No thanks - that's the work of scum"


Yeah, right.
