I also dislike those ad farms gobbling up great domains for no good reason (but their own personal monetary gain), but I'm not sure if there's much Redline 21 can do here, especially if the business was incorporated much after the domain was first registered.

For example, if I decide to turn my domain into an ad farm, and next year someone else decides to start a company and name it "Elenny" and wants the domain "elenny.com"....should I be obliged to hand it over?

I feel for honest businesspeople everywhere who are going through this nightmare, but this seems to be completely different from cybersquatting.

Good luck Redline.
