Do you want some group of "earnest and worthy" people deciding what domain names you or I can register?
Not exactly.. but see what they do in Australia. (Not saying they are right). You cannot register "Generic Domain Names" and the domain name has to have something to do with the Registered Company/Product/Service you dealing with. These people are using previous registered domain names and using their "good faith" in bringing people to the site People seeing its a .co.nz domain name might think its Legal to buy the stuff from the country the domain name is registered like from http://www.infobrok.co.nz/ Also good examples are www.pharmacycare.co.nz and http://www.discountmeds.co.nz/. Some people would think that its legal to buy the drugs from these sites in NZ (alot of people think its if a .co.nz then its a company running in New Zealand), but all they are are illegal drugs which come from Mexico or alike. (You order.. they write the prescription and they send it with the drugs - which may or may not be even what you are thinking you are buying). Its up to the Registrar if they take the $$ from the people who are selling these stuff overseas and normally none of these sites have real names/addresses or alike registered as the owner anyway.
