Sedo Acceptance = Implicit Endorsement of Cybersquatting? Part II

Hi,

I read Mat's thread ( http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/domain...m-domains.html ) earlier and had a nose at the 'premium names' on offer via their https://www.domainmonster.com/domain-for-sale/ site.

What is odd is there are quite a few blatent TM's, and some of those are parked / waiting to be parked with Sedo.

For example:
sonyplaystation.asia (waiting to be added?)
sonypsp.asia (showing PSP adverts on a Sedo lander)
sonytv.asia (showing sony TV ads on sedo lander)

Stuff like ralphlauren.me is not parked with Sedo, however with massive massive brands like Sony surely it could be worth implementing something like Skinner suggested at http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/sedo/5...tml#post189779 namely:

Given the money and resources of sedo, would you say it was 'reasonable' for them to have a code monkey write some simple regex that runs popular or the most reported TMs you mentioned thru the domain database ?

For example, a simple select statement for the domain list of the table, with a %like% test for 'ferrari', 'microsoft', 'google', 'sedo' ?

OR the above select, with a regex that loops thru looking for them ?

I wrote something similar to test drop lists (doesnt quite work 100% but hits a fair few but then don't have the resources of sedo).

My Questions are simple, require a binary response.

1, Is it reasonable for sedo to run such queries as parr of the course ?

2, Do sedo have more than a few grand profit margin to afford said code monkey ?

3, Will sedo even consider this ?

I use the word reasonable purposely
