I know it's against the rules (often ignored) to sell trademark names and obvious TM typos. Is it against the rules to seek these names in the "Domains Wanted" section? Every so often there is a poster blatently wanting to buy traffic TM/typo names, and IMO it just looks bad for the community. These kinds of posts are exactly why a lot of people think domaining and "cybersquating" are the same thing. I know there is some grey area, but I would like to see the very all obvious TM violations banned.

"The problem is when offering iPhone domains and claim it's a new boat communications device." Again, I say, example, " what does apple have to do with computers, etc the list goes on and on, there is a system to determine who gets to rule the TM brand, and many companies try to lay claim on the same term, but hey, the lawyers and the law, play their legal cards as they may, but here is not the place to decide, who should hold what hand of domains, this is a domain forum, not a court of self righteous domain elites, who try to portray themselves, as more ethical, then someone who owns a questionable domain.

Apple + computers = famous mark. Playing devil's advocate isn't equal to playing stupid.
