The term “domain investor” does not apply to cybersquatters.
The latter, is the kind of careless, ignorant or malicious registrant, aiming at monetizing existing famous brands.
In a case involving several Harley-Davidson related domains, one can only shake their head at the sheer bravado of the Chinese domain squatter who registered them:
<harley-davidsonus.com>, <harleydavidsonjacken.com>, <harleydavidsonleder.com>, <harleydavidsonvestes.com>, <harleygiacche.com>, <harleyleatherclothing.com>, <harleyleatherdealers.com>, <harleyparka.com>, <h-djackets.com>, <hdcoats.com>, <hdfurau.com>, <hdfurfr.com>, <hdfurclothing.com>, <hdjackor.com>, <hdleatherclothing.com>, <hdvestes.com>, <hdparka.com>, <hdcuir.com>, and <hdfurclothes.com>
All of these domains were registered with Ename, the Chinese domain registrar of choice for many Chinese cybercriminals.
