Cyber Squatting in Politics
Buying and selling internet domains for political figures is a growing trend, as exemplified by trademark lawyer Jeremy Green-Esh's acquisition of the domain harriswalls.com for $9. This domain has become a potential financial asset as he is currently marketing it for $15,000 following Kamala Harris's VP pick of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Such practices, known as cyber squatting, highlight the intersection of politics and opportunistic investing, as individuals attempt to capitalize on the political spotlight. The dynamics of this trend raise questions about the ethical implications and future regulation of domain ownership in political campaigns.
