is this immoral?

i got this pm on another forum.

i bought my domain name and sell templates because it was the only one available with those 2 keywords.
now if i quote wikipedia

i have bolded the mostly word to stand out.so it does not say "must be" or "have to".
if i invent a .tanicos extension tomorrow and say ...this extension is only for people i choose will that stop you registering the domain you want with that extension? i don't think so...
what do you think?
if tomorrow you can register let's say pizza.org would you sell pizza?or use it for non-profit?

 

Lol, thats pretty funny.

I guess giving out pizza to the poor isn't a bad idea

 

It's not immoral. An organization can make money too.

 

An organization is not a charity. There are special types of organizations like "non-profit", which is a different category all together. Even those actually make a lot of money, they just claim that all of the revenue goes to maintaining their "non-profit" organization like salary, rent, etc...

 

so i guess my selling templates org domain is not immoral...thank you guys

 

yup, i agree with you.
immoral just too "hard" in this case.

again, organization is not about a "charity".

 

Do whatever you want with the domain; whether it be .org .com .net .info or ccTLD (assuming what you do is within the ccTLD rules).

 

Its' not immoral but I understand why it could be misleading to some people. But thats their problem, not yours

 

Not immoral. Use a .org for whatever you like.

 

The original purpose was to categorize, now there is no difference

 

Yeh, I did hear somewhere that an org domain gives more respect to your business because people think its an org

 

Maybe this was true before some years now it's not
The respect is earned from the site itself and not the TLD
However you do get an admiration when people see meaningful words plus the .com TLD or short domains (assuming they do know a little bit about the industry)

 

its not immorall, also org can be some community
i am using it if .com or .net are taken

 

lol, pretty funny, but no it's not immoral

 

immoral? oh geez there is nothing immoral in this,dont worry

 

Some people only like charities use .org names but anyone can use it and even "non-profit" organizations make plenty of money selling products, goods and services. Do with it what you want and it is not immoral. Good luck with your site.

 

PM the person back & tell him/her that he/she is an idiot

 

Yes, i mean people that do not understand the domain industry and will see a abcdefg.org, they will give it more credibility then lets say abcdefg.com

 

It depends,

I have owned a few .org domains that were quite profitable. Morallity is a question of oneself.

I personally do not see a problem with it, unless you are blatently lieing.
