E-Bay sponsors torture

don't believe me? Check out:

desaparecidos.com


As eveyone knows, people trying to make a quick back often buy expired domain names as well as domain names with similar spellings or different extensions than popular websites, hoping that visitors will make a mistake and visit their websites instead. Often times they sell advertisement on these websites.

Thus someone is trying to capitalize on my website http://www.desaparecidos.org with their own desaparecidos.com. They've even scanned my site for popular words to put in their site - and they have then sold the linkage rights on those words.

E-bay is one of their clients - though why they've chosen to sponsor the word "tortura" or torture is beyond me. Is e-bay really selling torture? They must be doing pretty well if they've gotten the US costumer as their client.
