It'll be ironic when that domain owner is sued for trademark infringement.

Won't happen.

Lawsuit domains are common. He will sell it to a lawfirm doing a class action which is perfectly ok to do.

FWIW - FACEBOOKCLASSACTION.com was registered almost 4 years ago:

godaddy? really?

For anyone interested the actual time registered was:

2012-05-22T14:52:09.0000Z

That's UTC time. So it was 10:52 EDT (NY Time).

This info is only available to registrars (I have no affiliation with godaddy but have access by way of another registrar to this and other info).

Problem? They're cheap and easy. I imagine you're disappointed because they're not too highly regarded in the tech industry, but honestly you shouldn't expect your personal political beliefs to be held by everybody else.

They might be cheap, but they are far from easy, I would actually qualify it as the most painful purchase process I've ever experienced (my former employer had domains there). And my political beliefs had nothing to do here, technological beliefs at most.

Anyway, Godaddy is where I would expect my father to buy a domain, not someone at HN. Hence my surprise. But turns out the op didn't register the domain himself, he was just pointing it out.
