Between generics, rip-offs and ridiculous grandfathering clauses, I think if
you dig hard enough you'll find a plethora of "blatant" domains already in
existence under .au!

With a $1500 price tag on auDRP, the old rule of "first in, best dressed"
still reigns supreme and is arguably integral to all registries worldwide
anyway.

Cheers...MJM

If the consumer has a legitimate reason for registering the domain name then
the current policy accommodates them.
 From what you and auda are saying is that because I run a "directory"  
then I have the right to register the domain enetika.com.au.
I note that you have no trade mark for enetica so you have no protection
there.

Perhaps we can put a challenge out there to see who can register the most
blatant rip off, after all it is now virtually an open namespace.
