Actually, what I was referring to is known as "domain kiting": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_tasting#Domain_kiting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_tasting#Domain_kiting "Domain tasting should not be confused with domain kiting, which is the process of deleting a domain name during the five-day grace period and immediately re-registering it for another five-day period. This process is repeated any number of times with the end result of having the domain registered without having to pay for it." Apparently, there was no cost to the squatters.
