If they wanted to deter domain tasting

They wouldn't allow any sort of refund on domain names! If you buy it, it's yours for the duration you selected. Check your spelling before submitting the order because once you click "Submit," it's yours. If they keep making the business financially viable for these domain tasting fleas, they'll continue the domain swapping game since it costs them only pennies a try.

I also think the article here at DSLR misses a key point of the article:
quote:
The report, brought before the ICANN board in New Delhi on Friday, did not examine a controversial practice by domain name seller Network Solutions LLC of grabbing names that people search for on its Web site but don't immediately register.
There you have it: they didn't even consider the real issue at hand. Nobody ever accused them of actually registering the domains. They just hold them hostage for a week so you can't register them anywhere else. That's what the original complaint involved.

100% agree. Domain name tasting is wrong. You buy it, you own it. This practice only encourages it.
