Wal-Mart fights for domain names

Wal-Mart is fighting to get domain names from some of its critics, and recently took the domain name walmartfacts.biz away from Jeff Milchen, a self-described Wal-Mart critic. This is as stated by a recent ZDNet Blog posting.

Whether or not you think Wal-Mart is good or evil, I think most of us agree that buying a “gripe” domain is fair so long as the domain is used to post true complaints regarding an institution or firm…and no money is made from the site.
