Virginia Tech Exploitation
Not only have the students that were killed and injured and their families suffered, but now they are being exploited as well. There is, of course, the exploitation of the media. All you have to do to see this, is turn to CNN or Fox news. But in addition to this, you now have people registering the domain names of the shooter and their family members.
I found out about this through Thor Schrock’s Technology Blog, and Thor found out about it from Garry Conn, a blogger who talks about ways to make money online.
But not only are the domain names of those involved in the shooting being exploited, the disaster as a whole is.
The following domains have also been registered.
VIRGINIATECHLAWSUITS.com
VATECHLAWSUITS.com
VATECHLAWSUIT.com
VATECHLAWSUIT.info
VATECHLAWSUITS.info

Wow, looks like the lawyers are coming out for the kill on this one too. The only reason to get those domains is for a massive leval action I imagine…

Well actually the way that they were being advertised was as being “Great for Adsense”, I guess people figure that in our incredibly litigious society, there will be loads of searches for lawsuits related to this incident.
