There has been an uproar today about a recent devious tactic being used by one of the original ICANN accredited registrars, NetworkSolutions. Apparently they are internally registering each and every domain name that a user searches for using their website, essentially holding it hostage so that it can not be purchased at any other significantly cheaper and more ethical registrar.
NetworkSolutions Scandal: Hijacking User Domain Searches


I know this is the second post with there link in a week. I want to make it clear I'm in no way affiliated with them other then the owner is a fellow member on a forum I go to.

Anyway's I'm concerned. I'm halfway tempted to make an automated bot to search all open domains and have them all locked. I think the domain indestry will see how bad domain tasting is. I've always been against it since day one.
