Haha. I don't know where you guys went to high school, but this would have been laughed at by my school administrators.

He didn't break any school rules and he didn't use a school computer to register the domain. The worst thing that could happen is that he'll be considered a domain squatter and he'll lose it to the school, along with his $10.

Honestly, how many teachers are going to know about this? Probably only the principle, VP, and the admin that tried to register it in the first place. After talking to him about it, they'll forget in a few months.

If this happened in my school... I'd probably laugh about it. Then I'd threaten the kid with expulsion due to insubordination. IF he didn't give me the domain he'd not be popular at all among all staff. But if he handed it over then No harm would come of it.
 
Why is this anything illegal or against school policy? This is obviously not illegal... It's not copyright infrigement or anything. I dont' think i need to go there
I can't think of anything other than insubordination the school can point to in the book. However, I'll say insubordination only affects stuff on school grounds/school sponsored activities.
This is concidered a lawful business practice, and therefore the school nor the government has any jurisdiction over this. This would probably go to court.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
 
whoa, if someone really emailed him the link, some of you are pretty tight a$$ed. Of course, it may only be some Social Engineering. Dunno.

No, it would not be illegal. However, aren't domain registration requests timestamped, and earlier timestamps may take precedence retroactively? I can't remember.

I'm not sure how most public schools operate (and for that matter, I'm assuming that the high school in question is public). The district that I work for is publicly funded and filled; however, we're considered private in that we do not have to accept all students; we're a career/vocational education district. When students transfer into our district, they basically say that they will never do anything against school policy, to slander the school, etc., etc. At least for us (and most of Ohio), insubordination is NOT limited to school property and functions. While the school would not have jurisdiction over the ownership of the domain name, they would have jurisdiction to punish the student if there is reasonable evidence that the student attempted to supercede administration (which is apparent).

I very sincerely doubt that the school would take the kid to court over this. If it's a public school that has an open-enrollment policy, there's likely very little they would do about it. However, if it's a private school or has a selective-enrollment policy, then they may pursue this farther than a public school would.

OH DAMN, MacBaine! Well, looks like he's got you by the balls man. This is like good reality TV! Can't wait to find out what happens next. As far as whos side I'm on, I see it from both ends....but it is a bit immature to do. I think he should just hand it over to the school for free now 🙂
