.eu Domain Name Landrush Scandal
Bob Parsons, the founder of GoDaddy wrote an interesting post about the new .eu domain name registration scandal.

From there you could landgrab as many .eu domain names. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that with some domains selling for six figures, there is plenty of money to be made from buying up .eu domains early and often. It’s a good read.
