- They didn't sidestep him at all. They negotiated fairly.
If you like domain stories, check out Klouts.. (Which I actually prefered to this story). I kind of felt mislead after reading this artciel (albeit it was an enjoyable story).
The title is also misleading because it claims they "sidestepped" the owner. They did not sidestep the owner at all; they tracked him down and paid for the domain.Sidestepping would have been filing a complaint with ICANN about the lack of proper contact information. Which would have been cheaper and possibly quite effective.
