[mdlug] [Fwd: [opensuse-offtopic] NetSol abuses the domain name, registration system.]

[Aaron Kulkis]

In short:
1. You want a domain name
2. you look up a domain name to see if it's taken.
3. NetSol (or other) detects the search, and
    registers the domain name before you do.
4. Netsol then hopes to sell you the domain name
    at some outrageous price, hoping you'll assume
    that they intend to use it.
5. After some time, if the domain isn't bought,
    then they release the domain name.

ICANN has conducted an investigation.
