Am I wrong to guess that this domain is worth more than a million dollars?

Rejecting that kind of money for making a point is… I don’t know, but it’s definitely something.

Edit: not just rejecting money, but defending it in court!

What they successfully defended in court was a company called GAIL trying to get the domain without paying them for it.

It’s definitely dumb.

Selling out means the domain could be used to hurt people. I call that noble not dumb.

I've rejected offers to buy my domains for small amounts of money. Every possession has some monetary value, and often times that value is more than anyone else would pay for it. I'd sell my domains for the right way-too-high price if someone actually wanted to pay that much for them, I'd also defend them in court if someone tried to steal them from me.
