iREIT President Marc Ostrofsky defines cybersquatting:

Let me defining cyber-squatting, since I’ve been called a cyber-squatter. A cyber-squatter is someone who owns a name that is trademarked, copywritten or otherwise [intellectual property]-protected by another firm. But as an industry, we typically only buy generic names like “cars,” “shoes,” or “mutualfunds.” I wouldn’t ever own “Fidelitymutualfunds.com.”
