In my opinion this is a huge problem on the internet. I am all for freedom to own domains, but it's coming to the point where more often or not the domain name I search for has no content up and is just conveniently being parked. For me, I guess the fact that the domain is parked tells me the owner is looking for a pay day from it, rather than to create their own content rich site. Big companies can force the little guy to submit to them and give them a domain, but little guys can't do anything to little or big guys to get a domain. It's a pretty messed up system.

I sold a domain once for $5,000(us) to the biggest equipment manufacturer in the world. I wanted more, their proposal was to buy it for $3,000(us). I was happy enough with the $5,000 after they told me they were going to sue and take it from me...
