BTW, the Exhibit A (which you should be binding all your customers to, if
you're not you're in breach of your contract with us) for domain owners (in
this case, for com/net/org) has a nice indemnity clause (unless you're a
participating party)

Pay particular attention to section 13 (and maybe 12)

> Ok, now Big Bank has sent notice that they believe BigBankStore.com
