RE: Interesting ... comments anyone?

It blown out of all proportion. It is inevitable that with the number of
registrations and updates taking place on a daily basis that mistakes
will happen. What is needed is a method to rectify the errors as quickly
as possible. Its ludicrous to try and hold a company responsible for loss
of earnings for millions of dollars because some minnion of a company did
not double check a signiture or spot forgery. The case should never have
gone on for as long as it did.

But (at least as far as I understand things) the case went on for as
long as it did /because/ NSI refused to admit it had done anything
wrong in the first place, and refused to reverse the fraudulent domain
name transfer when it was drawn to their attention.

One can only hope that the parties involved come to their senses ...

This sort of thing would probably not have happened if more TLD's were
made available initially.  Good (i.e. generic, single word) 2nd hand .com
domains are being sold for astronomical prices.
