Lapsed domain names--beware

[Charles P. Hobbs]

"PHILADEPHIA -- When the folks at Wyndmoor, Pa.-based Irish Edition
found the Web address for their 15,000-circulation monthly cultural
newspaper taken over by a porn site, they scrambled to find out what
had happened.

They discovered this: There is a growing market for discarded dot-com
domain names, and online opportunists had purchased the
newspaper's address last month after Irish Edition had inadvertently let
 its own dot-com claim lapse."
