Just seen on the debian-project list - I think this one seems promising if
enough corporate lawyers get to know of this:

======= from Anthony Towns =======
Should we be protecting our trademark by getting cybersquatters to cease
and desist using "Debian" in their domains? There seem to be a whole
bunch of them, for example:

        debian-gnu-linux.com (verisign catch all)
...
=======

(he had some other domains of other cybersquatters nothing to do with
verislime)

So I guess some companies don't like it that addresses like below now point to
a real web page...

http://microsoft-is-absolute-shit.com
http://godaddy-is-a-shitty-registrar.com
http://thawte-should-be-more-careful-about-giving-out-ssl-certs.com
http://verisign-is-better-than-tucows.com
...

Anybody knows a few corporate lawyers?
