US authorities have charged a website operator in a scheme to fraudulently use common misspellings to direct minors to sex-oriented internet sites.He was accused of deceptively registering sites to capture internet users who misspelled names - for example www.dinseyland.com instead of www.disneyland.com - in the scheme that officials said earned him as much as $US 1 million ($1.6 million) per year.
Good! No need for that sort of thing. Porn, not a problem, doing that, out of order.
"The defendant is accused of taking advantage of children's common mistakes, and using that to profit by leading them by the hand into the seediest and most repugnant corners of cyberspace,"
And where exactly did the children looking for teltubbies.com get the credit card to sign up for a porn site so that guy could make his $$$?
No need for credit cards. --> Dialers, real nasty. I'll bet the parents of those kids were pretty surprised at the phone bill.
Funniest thing is that the sites still resolve, so maybe while in prison for 4 years he will make a few more million.
