Subject: 'Passing off'

Message:
 

 
To my mind: microsoft.info for free speech is okay - to complain about their business practice or other reasons.

If they used microsoft.info for passing off - this is obviously WRONG.

Passing off would be impossible with .reg !

It is obvious why they do not want .reg - they want excuses to take away domain from legal owner. This is to dominate the word over others who use it and muffle criticism.

You are right - passing off should only be settled in the courts, not during Sunrise. This is supposed to be 'OPEN' TLD to the public - repeat an 'OPEN' gTLD.

Sunrise is a scam for several reasons e.g. to make out they are doing something so that all trademark owners can get domain - unlikely as 100's of trademarks may fight over the 1 domain. Also - the greedy bums can steal the best generics for themselves.

The unprincipled cybersquatters (outside of system) just help cover up registrar and registry scams.
