I had a similiar problem back when I was in high school. Back in 2000 I was a senior at Ponchatoula High School in Louisiana. I decided it would be fun to own www.ponchatoulahigh.com and make a parody of the school's real website which was something like www.i-55.com/tangischools/phs at the time.
I registered the name, made my parody site, and within 24 hours I wasn't allowed to use the computers at school. I was even restricted from using my assigned computer in my computer science class. As soon as the principle found out I was in her office and the person in charge of the parish (county) computer system for the school threatened to sue me.
Needless to say, I kept using the name www.ponchatoulahigh.com and I still own it today. They have never sued me and I lived happily every after.
I dont think a school should have the right to penalize a student for whatever activity occurs at his or her home. Plain and simple.

Isn't our online activity already being monitored by Google?
I wonder if you can use the same technology to recreate a turtle.
I wonder how many cool domains I could get if I just added "the" to a popular url resulting in something like "thewhitehouse.com".
I like turtles. Disclaimer: This does not mean that I like all turtles. I only like some turtles which I will not specify.
