Domain name squatting

Here's a good cautionary tale for the Cybernetic Era: Whenever you get an Internet domain name for yourself or on behalf of some organization, choose carefully and then make sure to keep renewing it. The Web site of the Peruvian embassy in Washington D.C. is now www.peruvianembassy.us , but it used to be www.peruemb.org . Some prankster is having a good laugh.
