Stop Domain Name Parking and Cybersquatting
Stop Domain Name Parking and Cybersquatting
The Issue
We, the undersigned, are concerned about domain name parking abuse and request that ICANN revisit the Anti-Cyberssquatting Consumer Protection Act and the Trademark Cyberpiracy Prevention Act to ensure that a domain names that are parked would be available for sale at a price tag that would not be considered extortion. We request that ‘Cybersquatting’ issues be discussed, reviewed and formalized this year into a written law to help stop the continuation of domain parking as an extortionist means that cause legitimate businesses to pay high price for the domain name. Starting a new online business is now almost impossible because all good domains are parked with extortionate fees being demanded. This is blocking small-scale business on a global scale for the selfish profit of a few. They should use their turn their business minds to something which advances the real global economy and creates real jobs instead of cowardly blackmailing budding entrepreneurs.
