BE SUBVERSIVE

From what i've read on cybersquatting, i think that this is certainly an issue worth discussion. So far, it seems as though the people fighting this issue aren't making much headway in terms of stopping this "epidemic". In my opinion, it seems like all this fuss is over nothing. First of all, i do not think it is fair that cybersquatters are thrown into the same cage as other subversive cyber pirates like phishers or spammers. Cybersquatting is not done with the intention of plopping nasty viruses on your computer like spamming or phishing, and from what i can see, it is not done to harm the individual. Rather, Cybersquatting seems more like a method for making a statements aimed toward corporations and posing social commentary on our capitalist, consumer culture. A large portion of pirated domain names seem to follow the format of (your company here)sucks.com, or _____blows.org, which to me, stands out as a mere format of expressing your voice as a person living in a capitalist society. If a person wants to shell out the money to own and maintain this "anti-site", i don't see why they shouldn't be allowed to do so. More importantly, even when squatters grab up common-place domain names with the intent to sell them off, i don't see the harm in it. If the internet is going to be a public place where anyone in the world can have access and the ability to mold it through open-source, i don't think it is fair to let corporations bully these domain buyers.
At most all they are doing is working the system in a manner most corporations would make most corporations proud. That is, jumping into the market when it is young and profiting by taking advantage of the uninformed masses. However, this time, the roles are reversed and its the cyber-slow corporations who are the victims of scheming tactics.
