An interesting case can be read here:

I'm amazed at the lengths taken to try to get that .biz name (even acquiring a totally unrelated trademark). The panel came to the right decision, thankfully.

 

Nice, logical decision.

Good Decision

Some people apparently find .biz valuable enough to go through all that hassle.

.biz is a downer for the aftermarket since you can't buy the name just to sell. But doesn't mean it is worth any less.
