| JC Penney - US Retail Giant - Preemptive / Anti-Labor Union Domain Registrations?
Web reputation management or harming its reputation by registering likely opposition party domains? |

I don't often see large scale preemptive domain registrations like the following.
There's something not all that nice about this apparent anti-union action, like "If we register these domains we can suppress or impair the voice of the opposition".
They have every right to register whatever domains they want to register, especially any that may reference their company name, but public knowledge/awareness of this maneuver might be used make it appear that JCP intends to suppress dissent and/or discussion and/or organization of the opposing voices by any and all means. (IMHO, for a union or opposting voice to use a domain with JCP in it to organize around would not be adjudicated a violation of JCP's trademark . . but get yer own legal opinion if you're someone doing this. ;) )
What do you think? Smart move? Dumb move?
New registrations for JCPENNEY.COM for 3/25/2010.

Wouldn't it be awesome if Google's algorithm or manual scoring took into account the number of domains that have been purchased to protect against the release of content on a particular site in question?
I mean, if a company is willing to buy hundreds of domains to squash certain information, then surely that information is something users would want to find, and therefore a site displaying such information deserves a boost in PageRank.
Don't mind me, I just love irony.

It's not just JC Penney...
Domain Name Wire reported, "Perhaps to gain an upper hand, the NFL Players Association just bought the domain name NFLLockout.com".
Of note, it reads like the seller purchased it last fall at reg fee and sold it for $25,000.
