It seems that companies tend to take advantage of the domain name system by buying up all domains even remotely related to their business. As a consumer in the market for a domain, it infurirates me to see "server not found" errors when trying to connect to sites using names that I am more than ready to put to use.
In this day and age where a court can rule against a private individual for holding a domain that is legitimately being put to use, why don't we see more individuals taking action against companies who buy domains without any intent of developing a site under the domain.
The whole point of having a domain name system is to make transversal of the internet more managable, and yet it seems that the careless purchasing of domains has caused a regression in the purposed managability.
