With all due respect, I don't think you grasp this Bill. Based on what I have been reading, generic and geographic domain names could now be taken. Injunctions can be ordered without cause. If Bill's Widget Company seeks an injunction from the AG for Widget.com because it is confusing people, they might just get it. The financial penalties are so high, the business risk could be too high. This is serious shit.

Since it would effect only US based companies, and since Verisign (the central registry) is located in the US, I understand it will effect .com and .net names no matter where you are (according to a comment from Ron J. on my blog).
