whats a domain squater

Domain name collectors can get an unjustified reputation as domain squatters. Strictly speaking, a squatter is someone that regs a trademarked name, and then tries to hold the company to ransom. It costs $1.500 plus fees to take a case to WIPO, so a lot of companies just pay up as there is no guarantee that they will win. I've got a domain that could be misconstrued, it's www.RubyWax.com . I did write to her an say I'd swop it for a signed pic if she wanted it, but I didn't ever get a reply.

I'd be interested in peoples opinions on me holding it.
