That's exactly the problem.... "the goal of tasting is to collect pay

Ten years ago the internet was for porn, now it's for
MLM/Affiliate/PPC scams.  As long as we put up with companies abusing
the Internet as long as they are making a buck, they'll keep doing it.


to be very clear, this 'domain tasting' (no matter if you like it or not)
is just using a 'loophole' in the policy/purchase that's there for the
safe guarding of normal folks. It just happens that you can decide within
5 days that you don't want a domain or 1 million domains...

So, to be clear folks want to make it much more difficult for
grandma-jones to return the typo'd: mygramdkids.com for mygrandkids.com
right?

Not just that, they want registrars to take a revenue cut.

I am assuming that
A. a registrar would get less business being "less forgiving" than others.
B. a registrar gets revenue from tasted domains that taste good.

I see no finical incentive for a registrar to change their policy.
