That's your opinion, Richard and you are certainly entitled to it.
Nonetheless, this silly method is used by some of the Scandinavian ccTLDs.
A company can only register under it's trade (company) name.  Domains are
not issued for product names.  Conceptually, I don't have a problem with
that.  You want to locate a Taurus, you can keyword it in a search engine
and be taken to (ta daa) ford.com.

I could stand education on why it is so critical to have a separate
registration for taurus.com.
