It seems to me that a registrar that acts UNILATERALLY to satisfy an obviously falacious request(a lawyer has no such right anyway) puts itself in jeopardy and could be subject to fines, punitive damages, pulling of any francises or licenses, fraud charges, lost income, damage, advertising expenses, ad infinitum.......!(in other words, their whole company could be shut down with them owing millions.) If a company was using the name for years, etc... why does anyone think a newcommer has any rights? And what is it with lawyers that lull people into a false sense of security, and instantly hit the defendent witha lawsuit a *****YEAR****** later? and/or act with third parties without any notice to the affected party? That should be outlawed!
