[excerpts]

Let's face it, the registrars LOVE domain tasting!
Some charge a small amount of money for tasting and
then get the benefit of the registration for any kept
domains. It's almost a license to print money! Once an
API is built the incremental cost on the business is
small compared to the potential upside! You can almost
hear the registrars cash registers clicking away as
more and more tasting takes place. 

If everyone benefits who is screaming about domain
tasting? The copyright/intellectual property lawyers
are having real problems with domain tasting. By the
time they manage to get their C&Ds and cases together
the domain is no longer registered. It's a moving
target and no one to sue!
