In a blog post responding to CRIDO's campaign, Minds + Machines CEO
Anthony Van Couvering evoked the language of the Occupy Wall Street
protesters, calling the ANA "the 1%" and saying that "<i>ANA and
CRIDO may control 99% of the money, but they have about 1% of the
facts</i>. [Nicely putten!]" He cited a study done by his company
that put the cost of companies defending against cybersquatting on
look-alike domain names under the gTLD plan at a total of $870,000 a
year for <em>all</em> trademark holders, or about 44 cents per
trademark registered in the US. <br>
