Despite Facebook bringing federal lawsuits against Cybersquatters, they do not seem scared off as the domain name Faceboko.com sold yesterday on SnapNames.com for over $1,500.

The domain name not surprisingly has has a traffic ranking from Alexa, Compete and Quantcast.

The current parked page has some 40 links and all 40 links go to a Facebook related term (screenshot above)

Facebook has a history of filing UDRP’s on domain names that are typo’s of Facebook.com.

Facebook filed a UDRP over seeking control over 20 domains name just a month ago.

Facebook.com won  a UDRP in June getting control of another 13 domain names.

In May of this year,  Facebook won a $2.8 million dollars judgement against 10 Cybersquatters over 105 domain names.

I don’t know if its more surprising that the domain sold for over $1,500, or that there were 5 bidders willing to pay $1,000 or more to buy what at best will be a UDRP and at worse a federal lawsuit seeking $100,000 in damages.

In any event it would help the domain industry greatly if auction companies refused to auction off these obvious trademark infringing domains, if parking companies refused to park them and those playing the domain drop game would realize not to screw with  domain names that appear to be an obvious attempt at trademark infringement
