If you're not a domainer, honestly, it's hard to keep up with the exact mechanics of how domain registrars and related players make money from some of their most obscure tricks.
Have you ever noticed how the reaction to a practice is subtly shaped by the name you give to it? Call it "domain tasting," as reported here, and it sounds like an innovative fun way to make a buck.
Call it "domain kiting," and raise the specter of federal forgery laws being used to slap the tasters, and suddenly it doesn't sound like so much fun.
Who would have thought that the whole domain name system would have remained such a wild-west realm for so long?
