When we were talking about the domain name in class tonight I wanted to mention that domain names are required to be purchased and renewed. That's how the white house got to be a porn site. Someone didn't know or forgot to renew the domain name.
There are people out there waiting for your domain name to expire. Then they buy it. Change it to something you would not want people to go to like porn. When you realize what has happened they are willing to sell you back that site at a high price. The white house would not give in to this and that is why www.whitehouse.com became a porn site.

This is an excellent observation. It is a good reason for not having children type in their own addresses in comuter lab.
