Of course it's a rhetorical question. Domain registrars, with very few exceptions, are a sleazy bunch in a sleazy business and we can thank ICANN, who sets the rules for the most part, for creating only unsavory incentives. There's no incentive for registrars to pursue fraud like this, even the low-hanging fruit. Only large companies are in a good position to defend themselves when their trademarks are violated. And if you're just a little guy whose domain was stolen through fraud you're up the creek; they don't care about you.
We agree on this -- it is a mess, and only contributes to the security problem(s). - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.5.1 (Build 1557) wj8DBQFFdcGGq1pz9mNUZTMRAtdCAJwJQuZ3eLJ8pjJMVwXpuCY1Uiqw3wCfQWZi 4XPAdc4xfN0ePZ3YwRAsC3w= =5lE/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
