Yes, fuck poor people for trying to screw over corporations.
He bought the domain for $10000. Not sure what your definition of poor is, but in my opinion someone poor isn't "investing" in expensive domain names.
Is that what you call scalpers, scammers and thieves, "the poor"? I agree that in most cases they are poor, but they are also assholes that deserve it.
Eventually the precedent would just become 'poor people' fucking over everyone, including other 'poor people' just trying to start their own business. I get what you're saying but allowing squatters to create entire catalogues of domains for the sake of sticking it to corporations is probably a shitty answer
