Message:
"UKTV attempted to reverse hijack playuk.co.uk domain from the legal owner (my friends son) - they covetted his domain." Change .uk to .brt and all CC-TLD's to three letters for sensical abbreviations.  Allow phase-in period when both old and new CCTLD's would resolve to the same namespace.
