I'm so surprised that squatting on tens of thousands of domains is still allowed, after decades of squatters being a problem. Have any proposals for dealing wit

  I'd love a solution to this. If you aren't doing anything with it and someone wants to buy it, they should be forced to sell. I've been trying to buy a domain for 15 years. I'm the only one interested in it. But still haven't been able to close the deal as it's too expensive.

  In our country we have a problem with exchanges giving horrendous rates to tourists (like 16 for 1 EUR instead of fair 24). Governor of central bank was asked why they don't stop it. He replied that they in theory could but seems like people are using such services and if they intervene then they are disrupting a free market. They are offering a service and they have customers. Should they stop them just because they have high margins? What I want to say is that I don't like this practice either but should we cancel businesses just because we don't like them? They are not stealing or anything. I'd say they are in a light grey business but for sure not black. And I guess there is a bright side to this all too. At least for large-ish businesses. If nissan.com was owned by domain squatter then they would sell it to Nisan for 1M or something and both sides would be happy.
