Elliot Silver: Domain Name WAB.COM Seized by US Government

Published on 2008-02-08 13:17:54 0 Comment Edit
URL: http://www.elliotsblog.com/index.php/2008/02/08/domain-name-...

I read a post on DNForum this morning which mentioned that the US Government has seized the domain name WAB.com. According to a message on the WAB.com homepage, the domain name and website were surrendered to the government because of the owner's violation of copyright laws. The former owner plead guilty "to conspiring with others to violate federal copyright laws."? As of the time of this post, the Whois information still shows the previous owner's registration details.

Dominik Mueller: Pharmacy.com bought by Wal-Mart?

Sean, a reader of this blog, alerted me that the Pharmacy.com domain name points to a Wal-Mart website now:

Hi,

It appears that Walmart bought Pharmacy.com.

Do you know how much it went for?

Thanks.

Sean B.
No, I don't know how much it went for. At this point I can't confirm for sure that it has been sold, either, because Wal-Mart isn't listed as the new owner in the whois.
