I was curious if Hot Doggerman had scottaukerman.com and um, as of today it's available.

 

 

 

UPDATE

 

Apparently, Robert Fronzo, decided to make it worth his while.

If Scott indeed cares about the domain, a screenshot of the page is all the ammunition he'd need to file a UDRP and have ICANN turn it over to him. Per Harvard Law's analysis:

 

To prevail in a domain name dispute under the UDRP, the complainant must prove that the disputed domain name "has been registered and is being used in bad faith." UDRP 4(a). Paragraph 4(b ) of the Policy lists four circumstances as evidence of bad faith:

 

(i) the domain was registered primarily for the purpose of selling it to the complainant or a competitor for more than the documented out-of-pocket expenses related to the name; or

(ii) the domain was registered in order to prevent the mark owner from using it, provided that the registrant has engaged in a pattern of such registration; or

(iii) the domain was registered primarily to disrupt the business of a competitor; or

(iv) by using the domain, the registrant has intentionally attempted to attract users for commercial gain by creating a likelihood of confusion as to source or affiliation.

Registering a domain of a public figure's name and outright stating that you're holding it hostage until you receive compensation? Any one of the above conditions is sufficient for a domain squatting judgement, and Fronzo has already failed two.
