For sale on eBay: list of 25M firms that haven’t registered .xxx

A good way to waste a lot of money and get sued.

eBay seller priccut88 wants to help you land in legal hot water — all for a one time payment of just $2,000.

The user is selling a list that apparently has 25 million firms that haven’t yet registered their domain in .xxx.

Here’s the seller’s description:

This is your opportunity to cash in on billion dollar firms that are scrambling to register their domain names that end in .xxx. A recent court ruling has allowed domains ending in .xxx to be valid. With that, corporations ranging from Facebook, Wal-Mart, Google, General Electric, Yahoo, Ebay, etc have all scrambled to purchase their names ending in .xxx. For example, Facebook.com purchased Facebook.xxx. One person has by now cashed in by purchasing a corporation name ending in .xxx and the corporation paid $164,000 to get the rights to their name.

Oh really? What domain was that?

Let me give you some advice: the $2,000 you spend on this list is just the beginning of the cash you’ll shell out once you get hit with a lawsuit.

Here’s another smart way to throw money down the drain: register a trademark in .xxx and then list it on eBay for some ridiculous sum.

That’s what a Connecticut man did with FoxStudios.xxx.

Following registering the domain in December he listed it on eBay for a $1.975 million.

When you see something like this it’s a pretty good bet the person doesn’t know much regarding domain name law.

Fortunately for this registrant his only penalty will be handing the domain over.
