Now the only solution is to put a complaint into auDA
or go down the auDRP route at $1500 plus lawyer costs.
If we had a secondary market then at least they would
have the opportunity to buy back the name which would
probably cost them less than using the "approved"
methods.
Statistically there are a very tiny percent of .coms'
that go for over $1000.
The problem is that the more revenue Hitpro generates
from the domain through monetisation the more its
going to cost to buy back down the line.
I agree the com.au name space is going down hill
rapidly.
