I went to three sites this week that I used to frequent and they all went to
dotzup.com
a search engine thingie that then says the URLs in question are up for sale.
One was
www.animationmagazine.com which is an animation magazine for gosh knows how long.
How can they own a website URL and sell it if the name is a copyrighted/trademarked name of a company?
Some of the dotzup sites actually had their copyright notice on someone else's name.
Somethin' weird is goin' on.
