Are typos domains against ICANN rules?
 

Are typo domains against any ICANN rules or country laws?
It seems like quite a nefarious business practice even if it isnt.

why?....

its a complex situation but there arent really any ICANN laws regarding this

however, if you own typos of a trademark protected name, you may lose your name in WIPO

Yep

typoing stuff like disney and sending it to porn is also a surefire way to go jail

country laws may also apply in certain cases - so if you are from the same country, the company may simply take you to court to take the typo domain away from you

well registering playbyo is asking for trouble imho, but simple typos nah no worries

yes theres a specific US law which forbids using deceptive domain names to send children to porn

my old idol - Mr John Zuccarinni went to jail for 2 or 3 years for doing it

famous english cybersquatter owns pleyboy.com and noone took it from him :)

sometimes some companies dont care or dont think its worth their effort

shit, KRL posts less now, so I am the ultimate GFY domain name expert :)

if you had playbyo.com i would trademark it if it was high in traffic. then what?

Someone here that works for a reputable sponsor has bought typos of my domain. :( Thats why I ask.
