That's typosquatting and it's not very ethical. It's also in a grey legal zone, you might get sued for this.

So I would advise you not to do it.

Do you have any examples of "You might get sued for this"?

There is the horrible example of the nice computer company that had called itself by a certain name. [1] They registered their domain in good faith and conducted business. Later, a multi-million dollar car company decided they wanted the domain for the name they choose after Datsun and lawyered up on the mom-and-pop computer company.

Well they've made the most of their situation by putting ads on the page.

I can also get "complex web design" for $100 per hour from them. Judging by the quality of that site, I might pass.

It’s an old site, looks like an old site, and only recently (last 5 years or so) started running ads. It has been 15 years since the lawsuit was first filed.

It says copyright 2016 on it...

No, it says "Copyright © 1994-2016 Nissan.com". The layout and copyright indicates it was probably created ~20 odd years ago, and hasn't received significant updates in years.

The "2016" likely means they do minor/trivial updates now and again. Maybe it'll get a "2018" in the next 6 months or so too... :)

that sounds unfair.

To be fair, it was more of a joke but this is a really good point. I wasn't intending to do it but thank you for the warning!
