Yahoo kills porn on tumblr - that escalated quickly, lol

Speaking of cybersquatting - some advice please. When I decided on the name "Bright Desire" for my site I was a complete idiot and didn't register brightdesires.com. Someone has, they are an affiliate and they send me traffic. Although he has used my brand without authorization and he is also promoting other sites on that domain. Should I terminate his account and demand he hand over the domain? Or should I be happy that people typing in the wrong thing are at least getting to my site? What to do?

Edit: Now I write that out it seems stupid that I am putting up with it, actually. But I hate that the domain would send people elsewhere.

Cybersquatters will say "leave em alone." Just make sure your TOS for affiliates reflect your attitude towards it. I usually live and let live but this one guy was outrageous about it.

Congrats on your Nom for 2013... You have a great site.
