“Domain Parking” hit CNN.com home page — “Domainer” and

Article discusses cybersquatter who calls himself a domainer.

One of the top stories on CNN.com today is regarding a self-proclaimed “domainer”.

Unfortunately, that domainer is a cybersquatter, so the article doesn’t paint domainers in a positive light.

The article is regarding Taikwok Yung. I’ve written regarding Yung ahead of, when he registered domains related to Bank of America and Merrill Lynch when they planned their merger.

Back then I took issue with him calling himself a domainer, since he was clearly cybersquatting.

The CNN article is regarding a lawsuit between Yung and Donald Trump over four domain names. Yung lost a UDRP for the domains and then sued Trump in a case he couldn’t win.

The article mentions that Yung describes himself as a “domainer”. It also talks regarding domain parking.

Since he describes himself as a domainer, the general public that reads this article will now think domainer means cybersquatter.
