What is “Insider Domain Theft”?

Theft of an organization’s domain name or website by a shareholder, employee, or contractor. Insider domain theft is one of the most common forms of domain theft. The World Religious Travel Association was a victim of insider domain theft.

Enrico Schaefer, trial attorney and Internet law expert: "URL theft by a partner or co-owner is perhaps the most common example of domain name theft. Domain names stolen in this fashion account for about 25% of the calls and emails we receive in the domain theft area."

New WRTA Website vs. Stolen WRTA Website (Domain Records on July 26, 2010)

In the images below, you'll see screenshots of the July 26, 2010 domain name records for:

1) WRTAreligioustravel.com
2) ReligiousTravelAssociation.com

The above domain name (#1) WRTAreligioustravel.com was the "new" domain name and website of the World Religious Travel Association which was launched in April 2009. This "new" domain name and website was created and launched in response to theft of the company's original domain name and website (#2) ReligiousTravelAssociation.com.
