I really think this kind of thing should be illegal, or at least reversible in civil court or ICAN.

This isn’t right. A person’s name is their property.

Of course a public person should be open to all kinds of public criticism and ridicule, but this is something different. This is a kind of identity theft.

“This isn’t right. A person’s name is their property.”

Nonsense.

The domain name is not one’s property unless they secure the domain name.

Well, there are thousands of men named ‘Rick Perry’ in the US.

Which one would be the rightful owner of this domain name?
