How-diddly-oh peoples

A couple nights back I was really bored and I bought another domain name and hosting space through dr2.net because I like to waste money like that. Well anyway, it hasn't propogated yet so I can't use it. But look at this.

syntheticwhat.net (http://syntheticwhat.net)
www.syntheticwhat.net (http://www.syntheticwhat.net)

What's with that wierd crap on there? Is that legal or what's up? Can people just steal the space until it's propogated? I don't quite get what's goin on here.

I'm not upset or anything, just kind of confused.

I think that is allowed. As long as the domain exists, I figure the domain company might as well try to profit from it....considering everybody clicks on those links. Once you transfer it to an actual server, those should go away - until then, you will have to suffer that fate =)
