You didn't even have to register the domain, since registry records (accessible to the public via whois) could be used to verify the story after the fact. |
Whoa there.
1) This isn't domain squatting. That's when someone buys up as many relevant domains as they can think of, doesn't use them, and charges an inflated price for them.
2) Anyone can buy and use any domain they please. That's the great freedom of the internet.
3) Nook is an English word. B&N use it, they don't own it. Having a domain with nook in the name does not actually imply that the site is related to B&N.
4) I am now hungry for ginger snaps. B&N, why do you always try to pick such cutesy names? They don't have anything to do with books.
