Try that one.
Well I sent an envelope to Ralph today, and it sure wasn't to "sporebank". "Hijack," I suppose, was a poor choice of words. I know the right one, but typed in that, and got that gaudy faux professional crap. Too bad.

I've had nothing, but good luck with Ralphsters. Spore Bank is an obvious scam.

Sporebank can be charged in court with cyber-squatting and lose those urls. It happens everyday. Ralph just has to file papers showing his site was registered first and that the name 'ralphster' is his. RR

Any good lawyer would tear that case a new whole. I support Ralph, love him, done me right every time, but he'd end up paying the court costs trying to persue that one. For Ralph to have any luck in a case against them, they'd have to defame his name, and attempt to sell the website to his company at a inflated price to the market value, pursuant to the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act.

No. Try to make a website www.fordcarz.com and sell cars, or www.cokacola.com and selling soft drinks. Ralph can get those urls. You can't misspell a name in your url to get the other person's customers. That's been decided in many cases.
Below is copied from the ICANN website as examples of registering a domain name in bad faith. See (iv) in particular.
b. Evidence of Registration and Use in Bad Faith. For the purposes of Paragraph 4(a)(iii), the following circumstances, in particular but without limitation, if found by the Panel to be present, shall be evidence of the registration and use of a domain name in bad faith:
(i) circumstances indicating that you have registered or you have acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of that complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of your documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the domain name; or
(ii) you have registered the domain name in order to prevent the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that you have engaged in a pattern of such conduct; or
(iii) you have registered the domain name primarily for the purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or
(iv) by using the domain name, you have intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to your web site or other on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of your web site or location or of a product or service on your web site or location.

Nope. RR is completely accurate, and sounds as if he is speaking from experience.
