MyPyramid.gov

vs.

MyPyramid dot org

Is this a clearly illegal and immoral way of blood-sucking while piggy-backing onto someone else's efforts and ideas, or is this a new way of leveraging the playing field in the realm of cybersquatting?

Is it just me or is that copyright infringement? The government should sue the guy.

Fun parody/protest site (links to Whitehouse.org, lol), but yeah, bit of a rip-off. :-D

Maybe they should include this on their site as well: FOOD PYRAMID :cheeky:

The U.S. government is ultimately at fault for any possible confusion, since vanity names are strongly discouraged in the .GOV namespace.

With that said, the .ORG site should add a *clear notice* indicating it's a protest site and not the actual U.S. govt site, otherwise they could run into static by the U.S. government; could be off the radar variety of interference, such as the .org site mysteriously not appearing in major search engines, such as Google.
