Ask HN: Should I bother reserving .cc for my domain?
Is there any chance in the future that someone might type it in by accident, like some do today with .net/.com (albeit rare) ? I have no need for it as I have the .com for my domain, just wondering how defensive to be and if it's worth the money?

I think you're overthinking things. Check out http://www.microsoft.cc/ for an indication of how much Microsoft worries about .cc domains.

This domain is not owned by Microsoft.
save your money. typos of your name like mcrosoft.com or microsof.com are more important to your brand than .cc
even those unless you're getting tons of type in traffic may not be worth the extra $7.50/yr

I'd rather save the money for a .co or .cm domain :)
No, you should not.
