CrazyTech said:It's a heck of a lot more useful than saying 'oh, that's how it is...nothing I can do.' Imagine if that attitude was taken in all aspects of life. Imagine if the relief workers had that attitude...
If you feel strongly about the issue, its far more productive to help alleviate the suffering through charity work. Imagine that you spent 30 minutes in this thread, arguing over the morals of ambulance chasers. If instead you donated the equivalent worth ($4 at minumum wage) to charity, then your time would have done much more good.
Well then do whatever you can and need to do....there is" no one right way "to anything though...
Although you or I would have not registered the domains,doesn't make it wrong because someone else did.As far as I'm concerned,whoever registered the domains are no different than any other domain seller or parker on this forum....we ALL buy domains that we perceive as undervalued or have the potential to earn a profit on their parking revenue....there is no need to take the moral high ground.
Do you think the owners of poverty.com/net/org or hunger.com/net/org or antiwar.com/net/org or war.com/net/org would sell them for reg fee?I highly doubt it.
But if someone was a social entrepreneur they would pay to have them.
Complaining about something isn't enough anymore....if you don't like what the person is doing with the domains...either buy them and point them to charity sites involved in the relief effort or purchase your own names...do the same or start your own relief agency.Very simple.
The misery on the ground in Asia is immense....sitting around complaining won't solve anything or help anybody who needs it.

Raf said:Wow, some people really like to register names after tragic events that happen in Asia.
Anthony said:I just don't see why people are surprised news-related domain names are being registered.

This disaster will take out more than 100,000 lives in Asia when the final counting is done. At least 20x more massive a death toll than Sept 11.
I kinda guessed the horror that would unfold in the coming days when I saw the news on Sunday, and was disgusted that names were already being registered for RESALE by so-called "speculators" even as the first death reports started trickling in (at the time it was only 8-10k).
Sick.
Yeah, no one registered names after a tragic event in America on September 11th, right? I just don't see why people are surprised news-related domain names are being registered.
