Even further, whoever is trafficking in the typos should be paying the
registry fee, and it can't be Verisign itself (i.e., if they pay the $6
to themselves, that's not really a deterrent, although they'd still
have to pay ICANN their share for each domain). Furthermore, they'd
need to be subject to UDRP.
Class action lawsuits, just like the Register.com one where they were
monetizing based on the default nameservers that was recently settled,
would result, as they'd be typo-squatting on EVERYONE'S domains (i.e.
add a random string to your domain, or remove/transpose a few
characters, and they'd be using it).
Sincerely,
