IE – Squatters Paradise?

Has the IE zone become a squatter’s paradise?
Over the last few months the number of dodgy registrations has grown incrementally.
For example, this afternoon I typed in Google.ie into my brower – or at least I thought I did!
I ended up on yet another typo squat belonging to Gabor Varga & Jozsef Petho, who also own such classics as ipod.ie.
Which domains do they have?
Well if you try a few possible typos of the domain google.ie you might guess them:
gogle.ie
googel.ie
googl.ie
googol.ie
(you can generate your own ones here)
Of course the only way that their little scheme would be viable is if they are running ads on the sites that the domains are pointed to. If the ads they are running are either amazon or google ads then they are in breach of the terms of service, as both programs preclude the use of domain names that infringe their intellectuall property rights (try alexa.ie!)
For a managed registry IEDR obviously don’t seem to be paying that much attention to the obvious abusers…. They will, of course, claim that the registrants were able to justify the registration through the provision of RBNs, but anyone with half a clue can see that these domains are being registered with only one thought in mind – to grab typo / type in traffic
So who is worse? IEDR or Eurid?
