Is anyone experienced with obtaining a domain name after it expires, especially so that it does not fall into the hands of ad-squatters? I realize that we have until 5/2010 to grab tetrisconcept.com, but, I was wondering if it requires a certain measure of legal power. Unless of course the current owner decides to renew it, although I'm not sure why he would.
He has repeatedly assured us that he will renew it, for "as long as it takes". As for why he would, my best guess is bitterness.
Hmmm.. ok. That is better than handing it over to the ad freaks of the internet. Still, people forget to renew sometimes. I might think about GoDaddy's domain back-ordering system for 18.99 USD. http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/jump_pages/backorderexplanation.asp?ci=14623&app_hdr=0
