Everyone has an opinion on the Internet.
Parasitic capitalism.
This is the latest and greatest reference to the availability of the domain, Ebola.com, for $150,000, by the Foreign Policy – a publication that describes itself as “A Trusted Advisor for Global Leaders When the Stakes are Highest.”
Describing Jon Schultz, owner of the domain name Ebola.com as a “squatter“, the article attempts to paint domain investing in a much more negative light:
“In today’s information economy, there are few more useless money-grubbers than domain squatters, and that is exactly who owns Ebola.com. Blue String Ventures, the company sitting on the domain, is asking for a mere $150,000 to transfer ownership of the site. “
The article is written by Elias Groll, editorial assistant to the Foreign Policy and a native of Sweden.
