It will be unfortunate it the incoming president disadvantages these third party content providers. There are jobs that will be lost if these companies go out of business or new companies are scared away, mostly middle class jobs in technology and media content creation. This will be a societal net loss, with no upside in either government income or consumer price cuts - the exact opposite of a free lunch in economics.
It is a misnomer to call this hijacking because someone in Ron Paul's position would have had reason to believe that he actually had the right to own that domain name.
I think it can be acceptable for gaming websites and other low-value websites to allow weaker passwords though, because the inconvenience of a lot of extra typing isn't worth the utility and so that people automatically have multiple passwords if that password is insecure.

Not if they implement captcha's. http://recaptcha.net/learnmore.html has not been broken yet.
I tend to disagree with the idea of adding blemishes to the characters to make them realistic. Sometimes perfection is better than reality.
