Definitely! Just look at what happened to mikerowesoft.com, although
CNN helped that one. Seems that Mike has agreed to assign Microsloth his
name for payment of an X-Box and a prominent redirect link to his new
domain, instead of the $10k he was asking for.

Unfortunately the squatter at microsloth.com is just redirecting to
advertizers rather than doing something useful (bashing MS?).
