Iâve asked the question myself: setting morals aside, are natural disasters profitable? Well, they may just be that for the person who hops on board to register the domain once they happen.
Yesterday, I fortunately lived through the largest (and hopefully last) quake of my life. It first measured 7.3 but was eventually downgraded to 7.0 and was expected to have a 1 meter tsunami for outer lying costal cities (where I reside).
All variations of OkinawaQuake/Tsunami etc were taken and put on GoDaddy cash parking directly after the quake. The person who did this was not only bidding on my life, but the lives of others to be lost to create a profit (1 million+ residents on this island).
Just today the devastating 8.8 quake hit Chile and a tsunami warning was issued. Guess what? All variations were taken as well.
I now understand that this is a lucrative thing to do, but now that Iâve asked for it (and lived it)⦠when I know it happens around the world, I will try to immediately register the domain and redirect it to a non-profit organization in charge of collecting the appropriate funds for the region instead of letting it get in the hands of a greedy scumbag domainer not caring about the lives of others but their own.
Who is with me?
To anyone who registered Chile or Okinawa domains and collected revenue for the few minutes that it had itsâ fame but not devastation and disaster like youâve expected: YOU MAKE ME SICK!

Smaller and probably an aftershock.
