In the UDRP your number (c) is somewhat differently worded and only
applies to intended TM infringements with an intent to sell to the TM
holder. Selling iitself is not forbidden.. This is the theory of course,
as in real life trying to make a profit is deemed to be bad faith. Only
with domain names, not with stocks, land, art, whatevever. I suggest we
direct our efforts against the unjust *interpretation* (if it is that) of
the UDRP by WIPO. Not against UDRP itself.
