Yes, ICANN has fixed domain tasting. No refunds for registration fees. Typo-squatting is of course unethical. I would not say that the practice is rampant. A recent report by Verisign showed that it is declining and really is not prevalent. It's also not very profitable. PPC revenue has hit rock bottom in recent years. Talk about risk. There is risk it seems because there is a high learning curve for what a quality domain name is. If you watch the industry, research keywords and learn to evaluate domain names you can do very well.
