Apparently they didn’t secure wyze.us either. Apparently they did buy wyze.ai as a redirect though. I was kind of expecting they didn’t do that one either. Probably had a domain scalper get wyze ca and decided it’s not worth paying the blackmail fee as long as it’s not being used.
I was once involved in negotiations to purchase a three-letter dot com domain - i.e. XYZ.com
The agreed price was about US$40K - which was fair. The owner had a legitimate claim to the domain, but was not making much use of it. Domain squatters can sometimes be dislodged - I’m sure others have more experience but there is an appeal process
As to copyright infringement - some cases are obvious but often it’s just who has more money and lawyers

I was surprised to find excitableboy dot com available in the early web days and thought to buy it and give it to Zevon but never did.
Excitable boy, they all said.
