Firefox Fan Owns IE7 Domain Name - Vivian Yeo 

As Microsoft looks set to launch IE7 some forward thinking Firefox fans have hijacked the domain ie7.com.  You would think that given the same thing happening last year with ie6.com they would have learnt their lesson, but ohhh no...

www.ie7.com comes up for renewal in March '07  this is going to be fun to watch.

 

Visit www.ie7.com  to see what these fans have done to the site. (Site best viewed with Firefox.  LOL!!)

Interesting.  I wonder if the owner of the domain will get a big fat check from Microsoft or will he be considered to be a squatter?

That's funny stuff! I think Mozilla and Firefox are much better anyhow. I can't see much money coming out of it though.

Nah... I think this was less about the money and more about showing a certain finger... (the bad finger... a badmotorfinger... sorry off topic...:)

I am a firefox fan.  I am surprised they don't get busted for domain squatting though.

There's no rule that says you have to sell something with your domain name, just that you have to use it. From what I can see, the domain name is being used to advertise Firefox. IMHO, that isn't squatting. It's actually a very smart move. I bet Microsoft will buy their domain names sooner from now on.
