Looks like it was baught by one of those annoying 'pay us money for this domain name cuz we regged it first!' companies, rather than by a real person.<br><br>Which means that ozyandmillie.org must be really popular, because I think they only bother with domain names they thing people will want.

Actually, they usually get anything that was previously registered. Ever.<br><br>My old domain name, fusiontechva.net, was bought by a squatter within hours of its expiration. It had almost no traffic when I let it go, and it didn't even point to anything, but it got snatched up anyway.

And then they sell it for more money than it was originally worth?

Yup, one of my mates used to do it.

Tsk tsk and for shame or whatever.

Isn't there a system where, if you can show that they're squatting it, you can get it without the extra charge?

Depends on the registrar, and where the owner lives.
