Going to the details of the articles, to me that means that quality checking is indeed possible. I am also under the impression that the problem has since being solved, or at least greatly reduced. R.

.eu had serious problems with lots of domain names being registered for dubious purposes in the past. http://www.domainesinfo.fr/english/093/eurid-blocks-10-000-eu- names.php http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/news/2006/08/71555
So, sounds like the share of dubious domain names is quite high under .eu. In 2007, some analysis was done on this, and it turned out that 16% of the .eu domain names really were used to make content available (not only ads). This is pretty much 1:5.

Are you sure that the ratio is 1:100 or even 1:1000?
It's something like that. Spammers and phishers register vast numbers of domains, and as far as I can tell, nobody else does since domain tasting went away.
