Corvillus

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s domain typo-squatters. You know, the sites that are spelled similarly to a site you want to go to, but have nothing on them except search terms and ads. The ones that always seem to have the domain you want to register. Well, anyway, this country decided that it would be a good idea to make some extra ad revenue by typo-squatting the entire .com namespace (the typo being forgetting the “o” in .com, which is fairly common I’d assume). They even got http://corvillus.cm/ too, as well as every potential typo variation under that domain. Maybe it’s time to look into a lawsuit ;).
