Via The Register. [snip] Over 74,000 .eu domains have been suspended and 400 registering companies sued by the company in charge of the European Union's top-level domain. Non-profit organisation EURid has taken legal action after a review of the system for .eu domains (which went live in April) revealed a small number of companies had registered several hundred phantom companies in order to manipulate the system.
