Altneratively: You're spending that $12 to register a well known corporate site that just changed domains and their old domain is up for sale.

You buy the old domain, throw up a site that looks like the old site, and now you have hundreds of thousands of people using your site as though it was the real one and any information they put in the site is yours.
