It seems that we touched some sensitive chords with yesterday’s revelation that Chinese domain repository, 4.cn is actively engaging in the fine art of trademark violations.

Why, oh why, oh why? We’ve been witnessing this quite often lately: Seasoned domainers aspiring to get domains that are obvious trademarks. What is an obvious trademark?
