To be honest I read this a few days ago and I felt sick. I can only see more parked domains, and incompetent for business scammers trying to hurt established companies using their existing domain names with suffixes such as .bank, .sport, .bet, etc.

This is not utopia or paranoia. It is an evidence based fact! To be specific:

I have been trapped in an over-heated debate with a member here at WPW (no names), and I got a threat PM telling me within others:

"Check out the new site I just bought,
oh wait it is the same name as your site but .info, wonder how that happened."

Thats all what I can tell bro.
