I think the term 'squatting' may help here: (from Wikipedia)
Squatting is the act of occupying an abandoned or unoccupied space or building that the squatter does not own, rent or otherwise have permission to use.
Cyber squatting is to buy a domain BECAUSE of the brand someone else has already created. That is why it is wrong.
For example, someone already owned the domain FaceBook.Com BEFORE they were popular, so it was not cyber-squatting
I am the anti-squatter because the domains I buy are already squatted - I buy them and give to the projects - a la Robin Hood.
