[Random-bits] Evidence of .com, .net and .org non-confusion

[James Love]

There are many WIPO UDRP decisions that take away .org, or .net sites
because they are considered confusingly similiar to existing .com
sites.  There are also .com sites taken away because they are considered
similiar to .org site.  The following example illustrate the these
decisions are not necessary, and that the same name can be used by
different organizations using different TLDs.
