Debbie wrote this and it encapsulates a great deal of IP lawyers arrogance.  -- 
No way should you be allowed to go in and through business dealing prohibit 
another from persuing their dreams with out a damn good reason and a court 
order.

By releasing the Zone Files, tools can be created that enables trademark
owners to watch domain names and their usage for any trademark infringement.
The alternative is to purchase all possibilities of a domain name or run the
risk that someone will register, for instance, http://www.ærlingus.com and,
for instance, send out millions of spam emails within a few hours selling
tickets for $5. This is the reality of the situation and why business owners
have, perhaps, been rather against the new gTLD and IDN program.
