NEW YORK - A man was sentenced Thursday to 2 1/2 years in prison for registering misleading domain names on the Internet that guided children searching for popular sites like Disneyland to pornography instead.
John Zuccarini, 56, arrested in September in Hollywood, Fla., sobbed and apologized before he was sentenced in federal court.
Zuccarini pleaded guilty Dec. 10, admitting he capitalized on the tendency of youngsters to misspell, fooling them into finding sites that advertise for pornography, among other things.
The misspelled names led Internet surfers to advertising sites that paid Zuccarini for each user who viewed them. The government said he made up to $1 million a year from the scheme.
Prosecutors say the charges and plea were the first brought under a provision of the federal Amber Alert law, which makes it a crime to use a misleading Web address to draw children to pornography.
Last year, Zuccarini was ordered to stop the scheme after the Federal Trade Commission sued him for registering misspelled variations of sites for the Backstreet Boys (news - web sites), Victoria's Secret and The Wall Street Journal.
