P&G Cybersquatting?

from the no,-it's-a- dept

It seems the Procter and Gamble has a bunch of domain names they've decided they don't need. So, up on the auction block they go. Some of the available domains include beautiful.com and flu.com. TheRegister points out that if someone else were selling these domains they'd be called a cybersquatter, but with P&G it's simply a "great opportunity".

    If their intent was to use them and then they didn't, it's not squatting. Though obviously knowing that is difficult from the outside, except that the listed names appear to be ones that P&G may have used.
