today i was renewing one of mydomains and I mentioned to the guy I kinda forgot all the domains I had regeistered to me, and he sent me a list. in that list it stated I was the registered owner of cocacola.us!!
I was wow I can now offer to sell that to Coke or an retailer for free coke or some reasonable amount. Thing was I recall being told that somehow eventhough I had registered very well in advance and that these were basicly first come first serve on the date they opened registration by computer no less. I didnt get a single one. so I called up Go Daddy and asked they said at one time I had it but it was removed. doesnt sound right to me, but the bottom line is I dont own it.
what a let down for all of 10 mins I thought I had something nice.
one of my pet peeves are leaches trying to exploit other people's hard work
While I am not knowlegable about this cybersquating i cant see how it could possibly be ilegal to register domain names that you can sell in the future for profit.

Somthor had this to say about pies:
register domain names that you can sell in the future for profit.
When talking about selling them to the original company - say hello to cybersquatting.
(ii) Bad faith intent described under subparagraph (A) shall not be found in any case in which the court determines that the person believed and had reasonable grounds to believe that the use of the domain name was a fair use or otherwise lawful.
see above I'm in the clear.

Ah, I see being a brainless moron is an excuse to break the law now.
wouldnt it be cool to have Ford.us and post a picture of your ford product? I think so.

If you ask me its the same as buying futures in the stock market. you buy them in the hopes the price will go up and you will make profit. If they go down you lose money.
you dont have to be a brainless moron as you suggested you just need to have the expectation what you were doing was legal. until now I could honestly say that. I guess big companies still pressure legislation to protect their profits.
