As a professional programmer (and not a domain
speculator) here's my thoughts. If the registration is to be done by filling in a
web form, then one only has to know the fields in the form to create a script that
would mimic human entry. There are numerous examples of this being used online in
other circumstances now. One could also use dynamic IP, domain cloaking or masking,
so it would appear to be coming from different sources, hence it would be hard to
block. And as I've said previously, blocking may leave the registrar open to legal
action if scripting isn't specifically forbidden.
