I agree. Think about this. The rougue registries are claiming "prior 
use", but that use is essentially on 0.01% of the net because they 
are not being served by the Root servers. In the trademark arena 
prior use is tied to interstate & international commerce. I don't 
believe their "prior use" qualifies.

I suppose I could run DNS on a box at my location, and have someone 
in Hong Kong hit that box to resolve a TLD that I made up, and have 
the same right to "prior use".

Eh?
