Hi Jamie,
The reporter asked me the same thing.
Even if it is not illegal, it certainly
seems unethical. I suspect it is counter
to the registrar agreement as well, but
we have seen registrars "work" with other
domain name warehousers in the past.
In other words, it would be relatively
easy to get around such rules, unless
someone was aggressively monitoring
the situation.
Jay.
