Mr. Hayden has not violated Mrs. Clinton’s
intellectual rights because she has not filed any intellectual property rights
even though the site was named after her. Mrs. Clinton seemed to be reluctant
and was not aware of cybersquatting. Cybersquatting is registering, selling or
using a domain name with the intent of profiting from the goodwill of someone
else's trademark. It generally refers to the practice of buying up domain names
that use the names of existing businesses with the intent to sell the names for
a profit to those businesses. Mr. Hayden
can claim free speech protection for the use of the names because he has paid
for the exclusive rights of the internet addresses. These exclusive rights may
entail free speech protection and other rights. There should be laws to make
this practice illegal because it invades the privacy of an individual
especially when that individual was not aware of cybersquatting.
