    i dont own any of these sites

    the real site is

    burj-al-arab.com

    and

    somone has parked another one without the dashes

    from my understanding this is illegal, as he/she is using somone elses trade mark to profit.

    this is just for my educational purpose, i recently made a similar mistake.
    and i would like to know if this person is making the same mistake.

    thank you

    I checked the whois and the same company owns both domains, so in that case there is no problem.

    However it would be smart for them to 301 redirect the one without hyphens to burj-al-arab.com instead of sending business to competitors ads.
