That's exactly the problem.... "the goal of tasting is to collect pay per click ad revenue"...
Ten years ago the internet was for porn, now it's for MLM/Affiliate/PPC scams. As long as we put up with companies abusing the Internet as long as they are making a buck, they'll keep doing it.
to be very clear, this 'domain tasting' (no matter if you like it or not) is just using a 'loophole' in the policy/purchase that's there for the safe guarding of normal folks. It just happens that you can decide within 5 days that you don't want a domain or 1 million domains...
So, to be clear folks want to make it much more difficult for grandma-jones to return the typo'd: mygramdkids.com for mygrandkids.com right?
If grandma-jones orders custom stationery and doesn't manage to spell her name correctly, she'll end up with misspelled stationery. The main difference is that a misspelled domain name is likely to be a much cheaper mistake than misspelled stationery. A question to the registrars here: What fraction of legitimate domain registrations are reversed because the customer didn't know how to spell, and noticed that within the five day "dictionary time"?
