Last year: 82 domains seized This year: 130 domains seized ..waiting to see if this game goes exponential..

The funny thing is that a large percentage of those domains contain trademarked names. Can't the trademark owners go through normal channels (get court judgement, then file with ICANN) to grab the domains?

That involves tiresome due process.

Flashback to javanco.com... (search 'Javanco sun' if this doesn't ring a bell)

Thanks for that. It does seem like Javanco would have prevailed in court had Sun insisted on pursuing the domain. It does make me wonder, if that exact situation arose today, whether the outcome would have been different!
