Clever Squatter Hangs on to Murdoch's Domain
Squat on this

Rupert Murdoch lost his domain name infringement claim against Florida "businessman" (aren't they all?) Derek Hodges, who registered FoxBusinessNews.com on Feb. 8, 2007, the very day News Corp. announced the launch of the Fox Business Network. Hodges was able to prove he'd been operating a business under the name "Fox Business News" before Murdoch ever did. Nevermind that Hodges allegedly asked for $50,000 from News Corp. in exchange for the domain name, or that Hodges' profession is domain name squatter. Oh, sorry; he's a "domain name reseller."

So what, exactly, is online at Hodges' FoxBusinessNews.com? A website devoted to the fox fur business. Cute overload!
