True story. The Internet was still young. I was looking for the website of a particular non-profit organization. I typed in the Organization'sName.com, and it came up with a page asking for financial help to create this website. Being a charitable soul, I sent an email offering to help build the site for free.

Sometimes, especially years ago when not many businesses had a website, people buy a domain name containing (or very similar to) some trademark and hope to sell it to the company for a huge profit. This doesn't...
