The days of front running and brand jacking going to disappear within next 12 to 24 months, as Icann has been falling short on,but improving on laws of domains, still have to remove corruption from ICANN, and favored Registrars.

If Registrar is honest then there is no problem,returning their legal business or personal name. but many business and personal names get front run or picked up at expiration(or before) by domainers and registrars using third parties as shells, I ran test for 12 months and collected lot evidence,using key logger on my keyboard, copying reciepts, checking registrars thru centralops.net(hexillion) as to who picked up the .com's(front ran),many were taken directly inside registrars program (70%) where transaction was canceled or taken after 1 to 3 minutes, showed up at Registrars subsiduary or another registrar(partner) for sale,with false registration date earlier, 30% taken by third parties using spyware (and/or adware)on person looking up the domain name. I collected 10 inches high of hard copy proof. Dotster(dotregistrar.com) even put money back into my business account (3 times)and altered registry data, but I had key logger and hidden files to back up in hard copy. I cant comment on GoDaddy as possible pending lawsuit. Ernest Ryder Elliot, most were trying to state how domain was taken and not why it was taken.
