Bob Parsons of Go Daddy admit in a <a HREF="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/business2/business2_archive/2006/12/01/8394968/index.htm" rel="nofollow">2007 CNN Money interview</A> that parked pages earn Go Daddy $12,000/day (wonder what they earn now). All the Registrars earn from parked pages. Why are Domainers being singled out? Registrars ARE domainers! Registrars pick up dropped names, preventing them from being released – what’s the difference? Domainers are the weaker target compared to Registrars, so it’s easy to go after you!

His argument is so ridiculous that it's hard to spend the time to answer it. However, any reader who wants to know the TRUE facts about domain investing, there's a great article with a lot of feedback from the domain community at: http://domainnamewire.com/2010/03/03/edelman-domainers-cause-harm-add-little-value/ I advise anyone who owns a company and wants to buy a domain representing their prodservs to read this.
