My take:
If you are a program/business owner and did not have the foresight to:
a)trademark your business name
b)buy a domain which you have clearly been notified you have first rights to or should know about if you are a savvy business professional
then it really seems like you shouldn't complain.
If you can't afford it, you should be happy someone else has purchased it and is sending you the business.
As for allowing an affiliate, it should be clearly defined in your TOS. Period. Not changed one day because you get pissed the domain owner is making money off your name and you feel it should be yours, yet you didn't even attempt to get it. Smart planning can avoid these issues clearly.
This is Business 101 - Cover your own Ass and protect your investment.
Wouldn't you agree?
