Hmmm... at what point does the woman consider herself as having exceeded the magic slut number?

Why is the buying and selling of domains any different from doing so with any other commodity?

For me, the difference is a person who has a domain name and is using it versus someone who is not making use of the domain name but has registered it in the hopes of showing a future profit by selling it, preferably at an inflated price.
One example here in Canada was a gentleman who decided to get into the marijuana related domain name business prior to the legalization of marijuana. Since he made no use of the domain names and used trademarks and variants of them that had been registered by multiple companies planning on getting into the business if it proved to be profitable, his domain names were tossed out. Admittedly, it seems a bit funny to be worrying about a recreational drug related business being profitable but what can you expect when the government gets involved.
For Americans, the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act comes into play. It has also been applied to non-Americans when the domain name was registered with an American registrar given a domain name squatter is going to want to pay as little as possible.
