Were there any restrictions on what you could register? (i.e. only domains related to your company) I'd have thought people would have registered generic words

  Yeah, people used to care back in the day, like whether you were commercial or nonprofit, etc. .net was reserved for infrastructure providers, organizations who actually owned and operated the physical bits of the network. Nowadays it's a free for all, tho' I think .edu still maintains criteria for registration. There was a long-running saga of people trying to register fuck.com and being told "no" too.
