Cybersquatting Petition Gains Steam
An online petition aimed at the head of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is generating some buzz on YouChoose.net, a new cause-oriented social-networking site. The letter urges ICANN President Paul Twomey to crack down on "cybersquatting." Nearly 600 users had signed the petition as of Friday morning.
The letter begins: "We, the undersigned, are concerned about domain name parking abuse and request that ICANN revisit the Anti-Cybersquatting 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."
