ebusiness.com Domain Screwup
from the more-f*cking-up dept
I used to post a ton of articles about Network Solutions messing up, and was happy when other domain registrars were let into the game. Now, however, is a story of Register.com messing up. Apparently, in October they let someone register ebusiness.com even though it had already been taken. Then, it seems, they did a very poor job of notifying the person that they messed up, and he went on building a business plan out of ebusiness.com only to find out that someone in Texas who had the rights to the domain was trying to sell it.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
