Since the massive outbreak for registering Internet domain-names, acting as real legal users for their web addresses and not as simple speculators is the new move of
business and personal computer users. Well if this phenomenon be compared to an epidemic, I think it will be safe to say that this is one great incurable disease infecting most
computer wizards and addicts. But this specie of illness is good though, as long as the domain-names will registered legitimately on the right and authorized places.
Spanning at least a decade in its existence, over a billion of new domain names under the .com and the .net category were registered. This leads to shortage in domain-name choices triggering crimes such as illegal transfer or use of domain names and hacking which is anonymous to the registrar or domain owners. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) initiated sufficient measures to protect domain users against foul play, requiring anyone who wants to change their domain name to furnish a copy of valid identification or submit a form of the Initial Registration for Registrar Transfer. However the glitch with this rule is that notification of the original owner by the registrar or the would-be owner of the name is not compulsory, leaving more registrar threatened that they might lose rights to the name without their knowledge. The best way to protect
property rights over the domain name is to lock it down and check it with ICANN if you have doubts that yours being robbed.
