Sexiest domain names .by taken by cybersquatters?

The new technical administrator of the .by domain zone auctioned 250 domain names. They were removed from the Operative-Analytical Center’s register because of violations – they were out of the open sale for 10 years. Selling of domain names will be conducted in 4 stages, the first of which will end on October 11. The money will go to orphanages.

Euroradio has noticed that many of the "delicious" domains are taken today. But ... no web-sites exist at these addresses. For example, gazeta.by, money.by, sex.by, music.by, info.by.

These domains are registered in the name of the same company - Informational Business Club Ltd. We checked whois and found out that all services of the former technical manager of the Belarusian domain zone "Open Contact" were also registered in the name of this very company. The domain names are taken, butthere are no web-sites! We call the indicated contact numbers with an aim to buy a domain name gazeta.by.

"You can't buy it. Even if we don't use it, this does not mean anything. We have many web-sites and we are not going to sell them. If yu are interested in any other sites, you can call another number to buy them". 

On July 29, 2011 unknown persons bought the domains cd.by, help.by, xxx.by, and on august 15 an unknown person registered domains blog.by, book.by, books.by, by.by, love.by, vodka.by. All of them are not in use!

Euroradio has found out that these domains were in the so-called "stop-list" before: it was impossible to buy them. They have not been exposed to the public for 10 years!  

It turns out that hundreds of beautiful domains . by are now occupied, but not used. Cybersquatters work like this all over the world. 

Besides, the Operative Analytical Center also reserved some domain names. For example, drugs.by, porno.by, as well as president.by, lukashenko.by and newpresident.by are not available for registration as they are taken.
