If there was one place on earth I would want my Domain, it would probably be there. It seems obvious to me, that someone aims to highlight that with the purchase of this domain.

The article describes the PREVIOUS owner of the Righthaven domain. So your comment about a "litigious ass-lick and his fledgling extortion service" has nothing to do with the new owners. It's clear that the new owners bought the domain for ironic purposes. Let's see what they do with it before you start name calling the wrong guys.

I am from Zug, and I know how many tax-fleeing people, fraudulent firms and lawyers, third-world predators multinational companies of resource traders and similar stuff is resided here. So do not expect someting good from that new domain holder. Well, not surprising.

It's a shame to see archaic terminology twisted into modern day weasel words, especially for some litigious ass-lick and his fledgling extortion service.
