Domain name scammers!
Actually, the term is squatters. It's often the registrars themselves that do it, because it doesn't cost them any money.
For historical reasons (the name of my first xenix box was limited to 7 characters), when my email went from a bang path ucscc.ucsc.edu!red4est!lrc, to domains red4est.felton.ca.us, I then registered red4est.com rather than redforest.com. By the time the web became popular enough, someone else had registered redforest.com and when it lapsed a squatter had taken it.
