Eurid happy to let cybersquatters profit from squatting .eu domains.

A post on the Out-Law.com website carried quotes from Eurid that should be grounds for Eurid being stripped of .eu registry functions. Eurid is not worried about cybersquatting - it only cares that the whois data is “valid”. But given its lack of competence on trivial registry operations, how could the people tell if the whois data is valid?

In the next 24 hours, the 2 Millionth .eu domain will be registered. The growth of .eu since April 7th has been high but the registration rates have been falling off since those landrush days. But the big question is how many .eu domains have been cybersquatted or registered with bogus whois details.

Eurid doesn’t care - all it is interested in is the money. The bogus registrars are still there. The second landrush was a mess due to these crooks. And contrary to EU law, .eu domains are being auctioned off. These days, it is difficult to tell the Eurid registry from the cybersquatters.
