at work - a software house - they revealed a new marketing
strategy and product streamlining that ulitmately consists
of a snazzy browser interface. Lets say the product is
called "ab"... and now they have jazzed up the product so
its called, say "abc". the new version is gonna be shit hot
and very web capable.

I've discovered that www.abc.com does not exist [its not
abc by the way, thats just for illustrative purposes!]

My question.

do you think its feasable for me to reg. www.abc.com,
www.abc.org, www.abc.bet etc and then go to my bosses and
say... if you want to use any of these you got to pay me.

. or is this some crazy bullshit scheme that might appear in
"spaced" or soemthing but that has no chance in hell of
being sucessfull in the real world?

Thoughts?

Can you do it and stay anonymous?

From a legal point of view you can't get into any trouble
from your company, they can't sack you but they might change
the name of the product and stop being nice to you.

I guess it depends how much you stand to earn from the
situation...how much money would you accept and is it worth
the greif you will get?

Are you refering to being "tea bagged?"

Yes, if 'fumbler's boss catches a whiff of this hairbrained
scheme, I have a grim forebodding that'll end with KeyFer
having his chief's pods forcefully thrust into his
traitorous gob.

there's a chance he'd say "fuck off, you're fired, we
already have www.abc.biz"
