<p>Posted by: thaddeus98</p><p>A newly started bilingual K-6 school in Costa Rica started up by 2 young couples is trying to get LLCoolJ and Def Jam Records to make a donation to get their LLCOOLJ.NET domain name back.</p><p>In a nutshell, the couple is holding the doman ransom. Domains are bought and sold on a regular basis but often times, celebrites and big name companies purchase all domains related to their name or product. .COM and .NET are the most valueable; followed by .org, .info, .biz and a multitude of others.</p><p>On a fluke, one of the owners of the school, Thad, bought the domain "www.llcoolj.net" about an hour after the domain expired on New Years Day 2010. While it’s valued at over $4000 on Estibot.com, the amount of the donation is irrelevant. They’re currently building a computer lab for the school and offering scholarships for low income kids to attend the school and recieve a high tech bilingual education.</p><p>"We’re trying to get an donation from LL Cool J or Def Jam Record and we’ll transfer their domain back. Anything will help out here. No word yet, but….it’s pretty entertaining."</p>
