" Britains got talent".. Susanboyle.com ... Also, most of extentions are taken now! What's your thoughts?

IMO, Susan Boyle regs after her appearance on that show are examples of cybersquatting, not domaining.

 

[-REECE-]

Yeah, agree. It does go to show though that there are still opportunities to get great names at regfee when new terms get coined.

Bad idea to register these types of domains....cybersquatting at its finest.

That is one Big reason why domaining can't gain legitimacy. We need to come out against this kind of registration abuse. And the domain will not have any value in 6-9mos anyway but this will likely get picked up by the press.

Completely agree names regged after she is famous show total cyber squating. As such gives domainers a bad name.

Regarding the .com regged from 2002, now that is fairly lucky and where the fine line gets very blurry.

Yeah, I think this is about as legit as the people who run to go register any natural disaster, terrorist event related, etc. domains.

Yep. People who are making this a legit business by providing generic domains to interested end users are given a bad name by this type of activity.

It's not all about commerce? isn't this legal? so, where is the problem? ( Except if Susan boyle herself want this name, so we should be human and give it to here for Reg fee, or even for free.."i'll do it if it's me who regged the name")
any way, i think Susan boyle is a very special case, and she's stay a good singer for looong time.. IMO.

Agree 100%, Ryan! It's pathetic... Not at all domaining. Gives our industry a bad reputation, and just serves as another example of what NOT to do. :yell:

BTW, Ryan we need to hang out soon with our wives and kids! :D

Can someone summarize what or who this is about? I am at work and don't have a whole lot of time to do any research at the moment but this topic looks a little confusing. Why is this person a credit or discredit to domaining?

As wikipedia : (!!!)
Susan Boyle (born 1961)[2] is a Scottish amateur singer and church volunteer who came to global public attention on 11 April 2009, when she appeared as a contestant on the third series of Britain's Got Talent.[3] Boyle leapt to almost immediate worldwide fame when she sang "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Misérables in the competition's first round.[4]

Before she sang, both the audience and the judges appeared to express scepticism based on her unpolished appearance and awkwardness. In contrast, her vocal performance was so well received that she has been dubbed "The Woman Who Shut Up Simon Cowell".[5] She received a standing ovation from the live audience, garnering yes-votes from Cowell and Amanda Holden, and the "biggest yes I have ever given anybody" from Piers Morgan. The audition was recorded in January 2009 at the Clyde Auditorium in Glasgow, Scotland.[6]

The juxtaposition of the reception to her voice with the audience's first impression of her triggered global interest. Articles about her appeared in newspapers all over the world, while the numbers who watched her sing online set a record.[7] Cowell is reported to be setting up a contract with Boyle with his Syco Music company label, a subsidiary of Sony Music.[8]
