Yes, but prior to that they used getdropbox.com, not dropbox.net (or something of that ilk). I do believe they were able to lawyer a squatter into releasing the dropbox.com domain after they were proven successful.
- shykes 17y agoYou would think that being successful makes it harder to get the domain back, since the squatter knows the real stakes. What are the legal grounds for "lawyering" him into releasing the domain?
- ironkeith 17y agoI guess Dropbox ended up taking legal action against dropbox.com when they started placing ads for Dropbox's competitors. As a result, the domain holder ended up handing the domain over (no mention of purchase in the article). http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/13/dropbox-acquires-the-domain-everyone-thought-it-had-dropbox-com/ http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/13/dropbox-acquires-the-do...
