Comment on Owner of grok.bot domain name asks for $1M

Comments

FWIW they have changed the price a few times [1].

The chances that this would survive ICANN's dispute-resolution policy [2] is very low:

(iii) your domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.

I don't think putting up a page asking for $1M would pass the "bad faith" test

I don't understand why they can't ask for whatever they want for a domain they own? Meaning they don't actually own it. Sucks.

1 million is nothing to these companies.
