Re: [ga] AMAZON

["Michael F. McNulty" <mcnulty@azstarnet.com>]

Terrible logic.
The only reason Amazon would register hundreds and hundreds of domains
that it does not need or use,
is to avoid the legal expenses of shutting down the leeches that prey on
other companies' names.
Why should any company have to squander these resources just to avoid
pirates?
