Registry offence
“We’re a web site design business and our web site is at www.cornwellinternet.co.uk,” writes Roger Cornwell at Cornwell Internet. “We recently received a snail mail letter from the Central Domain Registry of York, advising us that the domain name cornwell-internet.co.uk was available to register.”
Of course, they would register the name for Roger for a price, “to stop any other business from reserving it”. Central Domain Registry has a domain name of centraldomainregistry.co.uk, so Roger checked out central-domainregistry.co.uk, and, of course, it’s not registered. “Tempting, isn’t it?” says Roger.
