Chris Bosh Wins The Internet (Literally)
Mark Madsen, step aside. There’s a new NBA domain name buyer in town. His name is Chris Bosh. The details, from Henry Abbott:
Some jerk beat Chris Bosh to registering the domain www.chrisbosh.com. So Bosh went after the cybersquatter. All sorts of legal wrangling later, Bosh has won damages, his domain … and a zillion other domains the same guy had been squatting.
Boom baby. Yes, it’s true: Bosh is now in possession of nearly 800 domain names, including such hits as ericpiatkowski.com, booutlaw.com, jjredick.org and c–kblocks.com (hehe). There’s also a ton of big-name players on the list (PDF warning), such as stevenash.com, carmeloanthony.com, in addition to NBA prospects from overseas, and various other domain names like mixedmartianarts.com.
Bosh is being a reverse Robin Hood, by stealing from the domain squatter and giving to the rich. If any of these players want the domain with their name on it, Bosh is handing them over free of charge.
Is this the Internet equivalent of running into a burning building to save little Sally’s dog? I think so.

The point is that if Chris Bosh didn't have that domain name and wanted it, he should have either paid what the person owning it wanted - or settle for something like chris-bosh.com
