Ten years ago the internet was for porn, now it's for
MLM/Affiliate/PPC scams. As long as we put up with companies abusing
the Internet as long as they are making a buck, they'll keep doing
it.
to be very clear, this 'domain tasting' (no matter if you like it
or not)
is just using a 'loophole' in the policy/purchase that's there for the
safe guarding of normal folks. It just happens that you can decide
within
5 days that you don't want a domain or 1 million domains...
So, to be clear folks want to make it much more difficult for
grandma-jones to return the typo'd: mygramdkids.com for
mygrandkids.com
right?
If grandma-jones orders custom stationery and doesn't
manage to spell her name correctly, she'll end up with
misspelled stationery. The main difference is that
a misspelled domain name is likely to be a much cheaper
mistake than misspelled stationery.
A question to the registrars here: What fraction of legitimate
domain registrations are reversed because the customer
didn't know how to spell, and noticed that within the five
day "dictionary time"?
Cheers,
Steve
