I should probably look around for a new name then, I'm DanishBacon on twitter, which puts me in the danger area for being deleted outright and replaced by a bacon marketing scheme..

#52Given how often this happens with Twitter, Facebook and ever other Corp-owned namespace the more I appreciate the clear ownership status afforded by DNS, despite it's many flaws. It's also why I put my domain on my business card but not my Twitter, all it'd take is an account hack and some spam or a backhander from some firm and it would't be mind anymore with no recourse whatsoever.
On DNS, if you squat on someone else's trademark, ICANN will give it to its rightful owner.
The only difference is cost and delay. That is to say, due process don't come cheap. On Twitter, the seizure happens instantly and no one pays legal fees. Within ICANN arbitration, it can get bloody.
