Cybersquatting

One of the topics that we discussed in class that I found interesting was the idea of cybersquatting. The way that it is used in intellectual marketing such as taking someones trademark. The idea of taking a domain name for the purpose of holding onto it untill the name would become popular and then sell it to a trademark holder. I could see this issue arrising when perhaps an upcoming young sports player would have is name taken as a website then have once he becomes famous the websit get be boughten out for a profit. Overall I just thought that the idea a cypersquating was an interesting one.
