Domain name ownership has changed dramatically over the past ten years for a variety of reasons. Doing business on the web has become an important, if not essential channel for many businesses around the world, and websites are identified with their owners in large part due to the domain name used by the owner. As a result, obtaining a domain name that is closely associated with a business is very important for most ventures.

t is a general idea that the absence of a real site may indicate that the domain name owner's only purpose in buying the name is to sell it back to you at a higher price.
Of course, absence of a website does not always mean the presence of a cybersquatter. There may also be an innocent explanation and the domain name owner may have perfectly legitimate plans to have a website in the future. Now I want to know that how we can difference these two and is there any law in Malaysia for preventing of this crime?
Cybersquatters exploit the first-come, first-served nature of the domain name registration system to register names of trademarks, famous people, or businesses which they have no connection. Since registration of domain names is simple and inexpensive, cybersquatters often register hundreds of such famous names as their domain names such as www.sony.net and www.petronas.net. Certainly, this kind of actions will incite those with legal rights on that names to bring a claim of trade mark infringement.
Please are Cybersquatters legally recognised? how do they really operate? can you please explain with some examples?
Thanks,
Gloria.
