Well, you had your chance.

After going up for auction last month, Democracy.com has officially been sold. Its new owner is Mark Cuban, the billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks.

Mr. Cuban, who is also famous for his role on the reality television show “Shark Tank,” confirmed the sale in an email exchange with The New York Times. He explained that he had no plans for the highly symbolic address and had purchased the domain to protect it from abuse — or, in his words, “to make sure someone didn’t do something crazy with it.”

He offered limited additional information about the deal.

“Someone sent me a cold email,” he explained. “I gave them a price I would be willing to pay. They said yes.” He declined to say how much he had paid.
