'Swimming World Magazine' wrestles the 'Swimming World' domain name away from cybersquatters!


From Wikipedia: Cybersquatting (also known as domain squatting): according to the United States federal law known as the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, is registering, trafficking in, or using a domain name with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else. The cybersquatter then offers to sell the domain to the person or company who owns a trademark contained within the name at an inflated price.

Swimming World Magazine went toe-to-toe with one of these jerks and now if you type in SwimmingWorld.com, guess where it goes?

We're happy to finally have that URL going to our site now. It's always kind of been annoying, but with Beijing behind us - we finally had the time to make it a priority.
