trademarks, domain names, and ethics

[skyfall]

Hey guys,

I have a question for you that is a bit controversial.

There is a popular company (millions of dollars in revenue, hundreds of thousands of hits on there website every month) that has failed to buy up all the relevant domain names for their trademarked business name.

Why would a company not buy all of the relevant domain names?

It seems to me the obvious play would be to buy up all the domain names, post porn on the sites and ask for a high price to sell the domains back to that company... Yes I realize I will burn in hell for suggesting such a thing, but that's the reality isn't it? Is there anything I'm missing?

What are your thoughts on this? Is this a :eusa_naughty:
