CYBER SQUATTING...

WHAT? Cyber squatting-learn your lingo. So often you have been told to NOT go to whitehouse.com. (Yikes-hope this doesn't snapshot!!!) Anyway-when a hacker/spammer tricks people into visiting a website that mimics the REAL URL of a site-it is called cybersquatting. Usually the wrong site is pretty obscene. Goggle.com is another-and then once you get there-they make it difficult to click off of these and leave. They also charge obscene amounts of money to the sites they are mimicking to own the URL. There is actual legislation against cyber-squatters....hmmm we sure have come a long way. http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/property00/domain/legislation.html
