Business: Unincorporated or incorporated? If the latter, just have a shell company and park some lorem ipsum, package some similar domains into the shell. This raises administrative hurdles, cost of enforcing, and makes it relatively easier for professional over a low barriers system. Domain name companies win. Interest: Who defines an interest, community or other? Personal? Website? Domains are used for a lot more than WWW on port 80 or 443.

> business The logistics of setting up as many shell companies and domains which are squatted seems unreasonable. The onus is on the purchaser not to illegally purchase a domain against the licence agreement or the domain is revoked. Both of these would likely massively reduce the financial incentives domain squatters enjoy. > personal They can still licence a domain, but when they're done with it, it returns to the pool of available domains for others to purchase. > Websites sure, and websites are the major driving force behind domain squatting though. Maybe I'm explaining this poorly, and I know I haven't solved the worlds problems in a single post but it's fun to theorise, however if I purchase a software licence, I cannot sell that on. If a business purchases a software licence and that business changes ownership, the licence isn't always void.
