Some years ago, our Congress passed a law called the Anti-cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. How does this affect the Webmaster in his everyday business?

Well we have all heard of cases where an enterprising Webmaster will register a well-known name or variation of such name and either place it for sale or use it to drive traffic to other sites. A well-known and infamous case is www.whitehouse.com. Personally, I think it was pretty ingenious and kind of humorous that this was registered and used as an adult site. I am sure that our former president logged on a time or two just for grins. Well we all know that corporations, big businesses, and celebrities do not have senses of humor and do not take lightly to a webmaster taking a name that they hold near and dear.
