This is the best point of attack I believe. A quick review of the WIPO
domain decision archive: http://listbox.wipo.int/domain-updates shows that
domains registered in bad faith, for example wwwcdw.com, are usually ruled
against. If the individual domain holders take issue with their own
domains, both through WIPO, and what I feel will ultimately need to happen
for this madness to stop, the courts, then Verisign can be stopped.
Millions of domains registed in bad faith.
