Legal Matters: Keep It in Your Domain

“Cybersquatting” refers to the unauthorized registration of a domain name that incorporates a trademark belonging to someone else. This modern form of reputation theft is surprisingly easy to commit.

But these companies don’t determine whether the domain name being registered rightfully belongs to someone else.
