Why was the Anticybersquatting Act enacted?

What will be an ideal response?


The Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act of 1999 was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in
November 1999. According to the act, any person who registers an Internet domain name that consists of
the name of another living person, or a name substantially and confusingly similar, without that person’s
consent, with the specific intent to profit from such name by selling the domain name for financial gain to
that person or any third party, shall be liable in a civil action by such person. The act, in essence, disallows
one party to extort another for money for the registration of a domain name that would otherwise confuse the public at large.
