I'd like to think that the evil chocolate factory is so scared of DDG such that they would buy up a related domain name, but the domain was owned by On2 technologies which, as you may recall, was bought by Google for their video codec. Of course, Google may be undermining competition in other ways. I'm sure they are.

They should just donate the domain to DuckDuckGo if only to squash conspiracy theorists.

No, it should go to Black Duck Software. Or perhaps Duck Records. Actually, it should go to Disney. Duck Guides Inc.? How about Automatic Duck Inc.? Or perhaps redirect to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck ? There's a Flying Duck Inc. in Berkeley, heaven only knows what they do, but they've existed since 1998, why don't they get the domain?

I have seen ducks in my garden. Why don't I get the domain?
