    Yeah, and that's possible. But, if they were going to buy them, they could do so. This guy just guessed on many that people would/could have registered anyway to make profit. I don't see anything wrong with that. We all have done the same thing in a way I'm sure.
    Like me, I worked for a company that supplied products that I was against the use of. But, it paid me and these products would be made with or without me helping. Might as well make money off it. Ju'know?

    When a person's first reaction to a tragedy is to think of clever ways to profit from it, I find it repugnant (that feeling of disdain and disgust is not something that I'd wish to alter with a prescription).

    Moral fortitude, integrity, not wanting to be a hypocrite. All reasons a person would not try to make a buck off of a tragedy and why someone would not believe "might as well make money off it." That is no better then the slime that were trying to steal money through fake donations after 9/11 or the Tsunami IMO.

    Not really. The donations would have served a cause if given to the right hands. When someone steals from that cause, they're actually stealing. This guy was only purchasing space that'd be bought in the future.
    If you think there's no integrity due to this instance. I hope you don't support funeral services, coffin makers, etc. Ridiculous prices to profit from tragedy. We could all bury someone in the ground, but for some strange reason we pay loads of money for someone else to do it.
