Just as a thought experiment, Edelman estimated that if each typosquatting site earns $25 from Google each year, Google would might charge advertisers between $32 and $50 per year to place ads on just one of these sites. “With a million domains, that would be 32 to 50 million dollars of gross revenue for Google,” Edelman said...
...Edelman said that he thinks that these estimates are too conservative, and suggested that there are likely more than one million typosquatting domains and that the $25-per-year estimate for typosquatters’ revenue...

While the ambition of lawmakers was admirable, the goal of reaching universal proficiency in less than a generation is patently absurd—especially when many...

Such arguments raise meaningful objections to the practice of state-inflicted death. The possibility of flawed outcomes, the lack of evidence for deterrence...
