I doubt it is on purpose. There is probably a program that looks for the most commonly searched for sites and finds out if similarly named pages and then buys them.
And sorry, but morals on the internet!? Check your spam box, buddy.
ohhh... spam! dont get me started on spam! Luckily The spam filter i installed on my webserver does a pretty good job. I'm down to 20 spam emails a day now :(. However i see your point. Maybe i just have expectations of my fellow man that are just too high :-\
Thanks Bleak. Now i am calmer (i had to calm down before i made that video, and i was still pretty pissed then!), i am starting to think about it rationally, and consider ways in which this specific instance can be dealt with.
On the whole, i have found squatter pages to be an utter nuicence. But until now i haven't really given them much thought. Surely companies and other entities on the internet need some form of formal protection against such things.
NICE CASUAL CIGARETTE THERE BRUV

They are called "Squatter Pages"
Morals come with maturity.
And, yes, the internet is still the wild frontier and these types of things still happen.
This was probably an oversight on the part of the original web site creators that some other unscrupulous company took advantage of.
We had to register "org", "info", and "us" to prevent this on our web site.
Their family should send this info to the ICANN on fraud notifications.
Because that's really what it is.
