Reserving an Internet domain name for the purpose of selling it later to a company that wants to use it.

Some previous cases (some typosquatting):

(I'll find some more later, really got to go)
My aim is not to sell it to a company though. I doubt Pixelmator is interested in PixelmatorTutorials.com for example. It can only help their users, and I'd be selling it to someone who'd develop it into a tutorial site (only promotion really).

True about typosquatting btw, not a real fan of it myself, I dont do typo domains.
