Domains related to criticisms of school program are registered.
I bet that if you look at any corporation’s domain name portfolio, you’ll find that 95%-99% of the domain names it owns are for defensive purposes.
Yesterday, someone registered at least 66 domain names related to Franklin Covey’s The Leader In Me Program for schools.
The Leader In Me is a program based on Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Happy Kids, a follow on from Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
Apparently, the program has a lot of detractors. They call the program indoctrination and cult-like, or question if it’s based on the Mormon faith.
The domain names registered yesterday at Mark Monitor are related to these criticisms, ranging from 7problemsleaderinme.com to theleaderinmecult.com. They all use Mark Monitor’s whois privacy service for whois.
Interestingly, Franklin Covey’s main domain names are registered at GoDaddy. But I suspect these registrations were undertaken at Mark Monitor on behalf of the company.
Below are some of the domain names, each of which was registered in .net as well:

Randy Frushour says
Accurate assessment why everyone registers multiple names particularly with similarities are to strengthen the bottim line though this fraudulent fiat system is denial as are about the devalued real estate markets. In summary about that is unallocated assets vs tangible and equitable assets in this case intellectual property. Under scope domain names specifically primarily build develop then seriously exoand brand and there property evaluations.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

If I guess right the writer alludes to like mindedness of the fiat currency backed beliefs as are stocks which are currency backed in evaluations where we domainers go right over the edge know some $8 domaun name registrations on a blue sky dat are wirth hundreds of billions of dollars. Nothing less than full force onslaught for entrepreneurial strategy so particularly with domain names and never ever just be “off to court to argue if that even correctly so somebody registered a version of my trademark or copyright I object though I might admittedly be amazed they expanded my brand $100 million dollars more. The irony for that may be that lawyers to this day if one or two exceptions even know what or how to defend clients who want to sue in court for publisher rights. Those are the old days. The whole phenomenon is accelerating too fast for all that anyway. The face book conglomerate senior counselor emailed her discrepancy for my having registered moneyfacebo…com and I in two minutes cut and pasted a code from my dashboard in reply and they never have been happier. I never laughed harder when the “$500 million worth of their brand just went down the drain. Typically these big big big brands don’t take their domain name portfolio all the way to completion for professional reasons I won’t go into here as half or more look away to build and expand a galactic size presence in tbe online space especially if when they see you’re handling their property like a professional. But the ten trillion dollars of the one brand I’m staring straight on yet at the market for $8.99 a name (estimates of aprox $100 billion per registration) is quite encouraging so I make a friend with the biggest Social giant on earth or was. What floundering social giant now Wall st only (knows how to) give’ market capitalization of $15 billion and that you or I for $100 approximately could easily superposing, expand their brand $700 billion additionally. The giant of prior mention didn’t like my registering GoogleYahooFacebook. com and I completely understand. Though yahoo and Google get it. Yahoo years ago registered Googleyahoo and Yahoogoogle. I think you see.

Any chance “R F” = “Randy Frushour”?
Or is it only a coincidence that both are steering readers to the same website?
Both of you write with such lucidity!
