Actually, NSI already provides this protection. I suspect these domain
owners failed to set up the Crypt-PW authorization option on their
domains. It would be a real story if they had that protection in place
and the names were stolen anyway.
Since the names were stolen, and since NSI and others say they can take
your names away for any reason, why haven't these names been restored to
their rightful "owners" already?
