An interesting event took place in Argentina mid-week last. For a brief period of time, Argentina lost its claim on its official Google domain, google.com.ar after someone failed to renew it. When it became “available”, one person named Nicolas Kuroña, bought it for just $6, & then tweeted, “I want to clarify that I entered http://nic.ar I saw the name of http://google.com.ar available and I legally bought it accordingly!” Mysterously, Argentina later recovered control over the official Google domain.

Argentina’s Google domain was temporarily lost when an Argentinian man purchased it for only $5 on Thursday. When Nicolas Kuroña noticed the domain ‘google.com.ar’ was available to buy, he immediately jumped on the opportunity. “I want to clarify that I entered http://nic.ar I saw the name of http://google.com.ar available and I legally bought it accordingly!Kuroña wrote in a tweet that was translated into English.
