It's just my opinion but I don't think that NA or ND has any "evil" intentions. I think that they are doing what things that they SHOULD have done long ago but didn't worry about. Now that all this thieving and piracy has taken place, everybody is starting to dot their "i"s and cross their "t"s getting ready for what's coming.
Unfortunately it means policing the trademark.
Either that, or they are all just evil monsters who waited patiently for webmasters to build an empire that they could then ransack.
No matter what any of us believe...bottom line is this: the days of squatting domains that are trademarked without the trademark owner coming after you are over. As I said earlier...that's a blow for folks who have made a living off of that type of promotion.

read what you are typing, domains that promote their sites arent hurting them one bit. they are making them sales. you are off base man. it's the people stealing their content or promoting other sites with their trademarks who should be shit canned. not the honest hard working webmasters who are doing legit work for their program.
You make no sense saying this piracy issue. nothing is being stolen. you argument does not hold any water at all. if we where talking about domains with tubes with their content on them then you would have a point but that is not the case.
well if they wanted the domains so bad they should of registered them ages ago they knew before anyone else what their site names would be and what domains they where using for their sites. they had the money for reg fees. it's bullshit
