Cybersquatting : The Bachelorette contestant allegedly registered opponents’ domain names

In the year 2016 there are people actually watching reality TV shows, such as The Bachelorette.

Let us roll our eyes for a second.

Done.

According to various media sources, it seems that one of the season’s participants has registered domains linked to his opponent’s names, and more.

Mashable claims that Chad Johnson has “snatched” domains such as  Joelle-Fletcher.com, the bachelorette herself, and redirects them to his Instagram account.

According to Mashable, the domains RobbyHayes.com, DerekPeth.com, ChaseMcNary.com and AlexWoytkiw.com are all linked to Chad Johnson’s name and email.

While there’s nothing wrong about porn domains, or even real estate, registering other people’s names is a form of cybersquatting, when done in a certain manner.

All of these domains have been registered at GoDaddy.
