I mean, if we are going to capitalism with a straight face we have to start being the whole bitch.

He owned it, Lamborghini wanted it... that made it a valuable asset that he held that Lamborghini should have paid for

    it's easy to see it that way when a big corporation is involved, but average people and small businesses get fucked by cybersquatters too.

    On balance I tend to side against the cybersquatters. They are not providing any value to anyone, just leeching dollars from the economy.

    We're not talking about an individual, we're talking about Lamborghini. I think cybersquatting Lamborghini is fine.

    You have to think one step beyond this specific instance. Laws apply to everyone consistently.

    So do you want to let cybersquatters fuck everyone just for the sake of fucking Lamborghini? Or is it better to get rid of these leeches who are providing no value to anyone but themselves?

    if we are going to capitalism

    Nobody is for capitalism, except as a derivative of classical liberalism. Capitalism might be useful as a tool in economics, but so is the "spherical cow" useful in physics - you can learn a lot but need to be careful as it doesn't apply to the real world.

    Since nobody is going full capitalist we can ask what liberalism things - and that is a branch of philosophy much more complex than just pure economics. In this case Lamborghini is entitled to their property, which we know is their property because the Lambo guy was acting like it was - in many other domain cases there is at least some doubt.
