Cybersquatters versus Apple
Posted on September 28, 2007 by Laura Oliver - Filed Under Online Journalism |
‘Cybersquatters’ have been buying up domain names relating to the launch of the iPhone in the UK, according to a report from Netimperative.
Addresses such as www.o2iphone.co.uk, www.o2iphone.net and www.orangeiphone.co.uk have been snapped up in the hope of making money from misdirected customers through pay-per-click style advertising.
Not the most honest day’s work, but what a great term. ‘Cybersquatting’ - makes it sound like there’s a derelict council flat lurking somewhere on the web. Watch me shoehorn it into an article next week.
