And it’s his side business. Main business he’s in is internet marketing. Weird thing is, he’s totally off the grid. His credit report is blank. He has no internet presence. All of his mail, personal and roughly 15 businesses go to a forwarder in North Dakota.[/quote]

This could be related to the decade-old anti-spam law, or CA taxation rules.

I sold a four letter .com few months ago for $1,500, but ICANN opening up the TLD space crushed the valuations. Unless you own a typo of a frequented website (the goggle.com guy is doing good) or have luck as cybersqutter (adaware.com owner used to make $20K/day doing nothing) you will not have easy time monetizing it.[/quote]

Typosquatting is actionable if it’s an attempt to infringe on a famous mark (Tiffany just had 150 or so domain names transferred to it based on typosquatting)and doesn’t really work that well, as indicated here: http://www.domainsherpa.com/is-domain-name-typosquatting-worth-it/

Could be, but it’s not. He’s not a CA resident, and he’s not a spammer. I think his main business is site design, search optimization, and site visitor stalking, nothing specifically to do with email. I suspect his privacy issues have more to do with knowing exactly what kind of tracking goes on.

That is why goggle.com offers no search results. Adaware.com owner was lucky that he had a non-business, non-american entity on the other side, which is why he managed to keep and monetize the domain for a couple of years.
