I want to register a domain name, but it is already taken. The issue is that it is registered by a company that collects domain names, with the intent to sell them at higher than market value prices.
Currently, their site says "this domain name is for sale!", but they are asking a price that is much higher than fair market value.
The name of the site is my last name, and is also the name of my business, and i want to use the site for self promotion.
Isn't there some law that says a company can't just sit on a name, if they have no intent to use it, and if someone else has a legitimate use for it, and also a claim to it?
Thanks,
Nick
