      But seriously, what is it?

      A typo of a large company? Or an adult site?

      Is it getting any traffic?

            If it's a typo of an adult paysite and it gets traffic, then you might either redirect it to the appropriate sponsor's site or sell it to me..but only if it's getting some traffic and the sponsor meets my criteria.

                  Well unless you start a corporation called:

                  Brock
                  And
                  Noble
                  Girl
                  Book
                  Store

                  then you might have some problems

                        The US does have a pretty harsh typosquatting/copyright law regarding this issue. See the Zuccharini lawsuits and related arrest.

                        Most holders are probably offshore. If not... they should be.

                        Apparently there's big money if you have a HUGE collection of these.

                          Then you are probably safe. TheHun wanted to sue people who had typos of his names, but I don't think he does that anymore.

                          you can still email me if you want to sell it later
