Google wins typosquatting case

Personally, I don't think "typosquatting" should be considered wrong, but in this case, the dude put malware on those sites...

googkle.com, ghoogle.com and gooigle.com

i'm not sure how many people would actually make such typos. they seem rather out of the ordinary.

but yes, i'm glad that google won the lawsuit, since the other guy's intentions were far from good.

I've done it quite a few times, usually when sitting awkwardly. It's always a pain in the ass too because I have to hit ESC before the stupid malware page loads. HATE websites that do that.

I'm pretty sure thats licensed, since it searches are google searches that are translated into ebonics, like the search in klingon and 1337 speak.

yeah. such a site is not intended to harm anyone in any way, and nobody would make a typo like that. it's just humorous version of google.

i'm sure they're not going after such individuals but rather are pursuing those who are definitely out to harm others.
