What a load of b.s.!! There are now dozens of businesses online that have paid millions for their generic domain names, and thousands that have paid six figures. And this guy says openly “y’all shoulda just come to me and paid me a few grand and I’da taken it for y’all”.
For the love of democracy, freedom and capitalism and everything else that we cherish that requires a level playing field, please, someone, please put a bullet in this man’s head NOW!

Respondent’s business model is to take generic words and/or letter combinations and to register them as domain names. Once someone wants to acquire the domain name, Respondent will sell it (presumably at a profit, otherwise Respondent could not stay in business). This Panel believes such practices were intended to be prohibited by the policy, even though this case is a close call.

This just shows what a mess the UDRP/NAF is, when one of its own appointed panellists makes such a ridiculous statement.

AAA means nothing to me as a UK citizen, I don’t associate it with any particular company. The UDRP process if far to US centric and it’s about time panellists realised there’s a whole world beyond America.

To clarify on the previous comment, the main point was that the same profanity appeared on numerous OTHER DOMAIN NAMES associated with the respondent. Accordingly, there was no evidence of any animus directed by Respondent to Complainant, nor was there even any evidence that the pages actually appeared at all, and were simply the result of a hack or, perhaps, a flaw or idiosyncrasy in DomainTools software.
