>Let's look at the case of Apple.  All companies named Apple, with a trademark on "apple", in all different industries, had a shot at apple.info and apple.biz.  Whoever registered it first got it.  That was fair. Apple already have apple.com - it is hardly fair for them to be allowed in for apple.biz, apple.info etc. - when all the other trademarks have not got theirs - is it? Apple Computers can afford more domain 'lottery tickets' than the smaller business, can't they? Given the slow rollout of TLD - the smaller businesses will NEVER get a chance for apple.TLD, will they? I am sure apple (the fruit) distributors would quite like a good short name for commerce on the Internet also. To me, UDRP is the legalized theft of peoples intellectual property for the benefit of Big Business.
