I'm sure Laura would come after you

Maybe the Parker pens people could be Parker themselves -- it's been known!

I tried listing a TM domain with Sedo a couple of years ago which was a typo and it came back saying this is a registered TM, i figure that TM owners can list there TMs plus typos with Sedo in order to block cyberquatters.

Problem with this is how many companies have contacting Sedo to list TMs on their to do list ? how many know about Sedo ?

Sedo should be more active, they're turning their backs on the issue in order to increase profits.

It all comes down to the first rule of business, profit at any cost. It's a bit like the Ferengi!
Businesses can and will and do perform illegal/unethical acts if the profit is greater than the risk/fine at the end. Check out the documentary The Corporation - it's a chilling watch...

Plus with the new DomCollect outfit, they're hoovering up TM names like the best of em too...

Nice one DB - i think sedo and nominet should work on this type of issue instead of relying on 3rd parties to point out the obvious negative aspect of this kind of sale.
