    Forget it. Checking every single registered URL is a huge undertaking and Afilias is just asking for lawsuits.

    If I register coke.info, I expect to be allowed to post info about the dangers of cocaine without interference from some knowitall domain admin.

    Besides, if you aren't on a .com, you aren't anywhere.
