HuffingtonPost.xxx squatted

http://domainnamewire.com/2011/12/12/huffington-post-gets-sexsquatted/

A reminder to idiots thinking of doing this, under the ACPA you could be sued for up to $100,000 in statutory damages. These cases don't happen that often but Facebook is in the middle of one, and you better believe there will be plenty happening with .xxx infringements. And for what - getting a domain you shouldn't have gotten that there's absolutely no way to profit from anyways?

Well why would someone register a big brand under .xxx .... it's obvious that the brand can get the domains easily and sue you..

Yep, probably the people who profit the most from .XXX will be the lawyers suing the hell out of a whole bunch of mislead people

Unlikely, and when you consider the court costs of doing battle with the Huffington Post, you'll find that 100 dollar .XXX domain just cost you 100 grand....for absolutely nothing.
