The speed with which this was carried out makes you wonder if these were fans (unlikely) or businesses with an eye for a quick profit. As we know, selling domain names on to other people can be a very profitable business.
I wonder how many of these names will ever be used as official sites or not. I also wonder how much money cyber-squatters can potentially make.
It seems to me that however many URLs are taken there is always a way to create another imaginative domain name for your business. Take for example Oford University with its www.ox.ac.uk address or Cambridge with its www.cam.ac.uk address.
Are the cyber-squatters just wasting their time? Well, much as I (sometimes) admire their initiative I get the feeling they are.
