I don't see how this could be a goal. It's impossible to level a playing field using money. The organization with the most money will still most likely win the way they had it set up. Remember they sold chances to reg a domain. The more "chances" you bought, the better your chance at getting the domain. > Bill and other RSP's, perhaps you were fortunate enough to not be named in > this lawsuit so sideline comments can be easy to make.

I'd just say we were smart enough to evaluate their plan and realize that it was most likely illegal (in any state). > Allow me to translate. :) > What he is saying is that we had a great system that made us some extra cash > at start up, and some dumb ass with a friend for an attorney decided to sue > us since we didn't set up shop in a state friendly to random applications. But they were not just doing "random applications". They were pretty much running a lottery--the more tickets you buy, the better your chance. This is actually illegal in all U.S. states. If they were just selecting random applications (i.e. submit an application and if its selected pay for the registration) they wouldn't have had a problem.
