It's really too bad that I didn't have a bit of money to retain a lawyer.
Then I could have set up a DNS server to serve SOA records for all
50^3 or so combinations (about 125,000) of three letter TLDs, with the
exception of the ISO TLDs and the six that the Internic have their prior use
for. Then I could have become the FreeView of top level domains; probably
legal but never the less a Domain Name Bastard. But I guess it was my
mistake to follow common protocol and convention and wait till there was
more official notice of the opening of TLDs. Tsk tsk, I am so experienced.
Legal bullying is the way to go!
