Terrified of cybersquating

[Nicolas Adam]

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 "/ANA and CRIDO may
control 99% of the money, but they have about 1% of the facts/. [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 /all/ trademark
holders, or about 44 cents per trademark registered in the US.
