Have anyone heard this term? Can you explain what it means exactly? Are for it or against it?

I haven't heard the term in years, but as I recall it was when 'investors' would buy up internet domain registrations with the hopes that a company would want to buy it from them at a later date at a massive price increase. We could call it cyberscalping.....

Never heard of it and it's kind of hard to say whether for it or against it, if don't know what it is.

CNN.com - Technology - Squatting Web domains for big money as popular as ever - April 20, 2000 Quote:
In a Christmas Eve 1999 filing, the New York Yankees sued Brian McKiernan, a Queens, New York, resident, under the Act over McKiernan's ownership of newyorkyankees.com. McKiernan claims he registered the domain name with the intent to run a noncommercial fan site, although for two years he failed to establish such a site, he says, because of cease-and-desist letters from the Yankees. McKiernan says he has never offered to sell the domain name to the Yankees; the Yankees say he demanded $25,000 for it. This demonstrates the messy reality of the majority of these disputes, which are going to boil down to the provable, or most believable, set of contradicting facts.

Yup, pretty much what has already been said. It's the act of purposefully buying up a potentially popular domain name for the explicit intention of merely re-selling it in the future.

Can't people earn money the old-fashioned way? What happened to a little elbow grease and hard work?
