Mind you was when he was 18, 5 years ago so apart from the obviously very bad behaviour he was quite intuitive in registering .eu domains . Doesnt seem to say what the charges are and may be if he had behaved properly he would have got away with the trading part ?

So does that then mean that acting as a registrar and taking orders with the intention of being a middle man is illegal ?.Thats what I cannot quite grasp as if he took orders as a middle man and then was going to pass them on and take a cut of the sales then what is wrong with that ?

Perhaps it was just his unlimited spending that pushed him over, what i agree, must have been a fine line. I suppose it must come down to the fact whether he guaranteed the name and he registered illegal domain names that forfeited his legality??

Yep but how far should the police interfere in bad business practices that do not amount to fraud ? I reckon it was his behaviour with the police that led to them doing what they did and not the trading side of it excepting as a "might as well chuck that in".
