If I understand correctly, a lack of DNS records for a domain doesn't mean it has no owner. Say I have registered example.com, but not yet given it a nameserver. Most ISP's DNS servers would (correctly) respond to requests for www.example.com with an NXDOMAIN. Comcast, however, would return an A record pointing to their own web server. Essentially, they are ignoring the fact that I have paid for the right to configure the domain as I see fit. Or am I missing something?
