During major sports events, some customers register domains for fan sites, travel guides, tickets, streaming, or local pages.
Generic guide sites may be fine, but official-looking or trademark-heavy domains can cause problems.
The contrast is pretty clear: Worldcup-Soccer.com reportedly went from about $13 to $1,500, while fifa.plus listed at $3,999 and fifa2022.com reportedly offered at EUR 150,000 ended up in WIPO cases.
For hosting providers, what is the practical line?
Accept generic event domains, but reject or review risky ones?
