This is technically possible, but I'm pretty sure it's a copyright violation on the
part of the new domain owner.
As far as the domain itself, you snooze you lose. The LEAP-CF LUG in Orlando lost
its domain and it proved too expensive to get it back. Same happened to
VimOutliner.Org.
LOL, on the other hand, my buddy had RepairProcess.Com (I have Troubleshooters.Com,
so I think you can see the relation). When he decided to let it go, he asked me if I
wanted it and I said no, so he just let it lapse. A couple years later I figured,
what the heck, it's only fifteen bucks, so I grabbed it and still have it. Sometimes
abandoned domains just sit there.
