I simpathized to your concerns.

I will have to note though, that this is the downsize of the "quick money"
some of those states made from relinquishing their control over their own
ccTLDs.

I think that they should also put pressure on their governments to review the
policies under which domains are registered.

Take this as an example: since "nu" is the Portuguese word for "naked" it
would be appealling for a portuguese or bazilian adult webmaster to register
verymaliciousname.nu and hosted in the US.

This is, of course, not to say that the study is obvioulsly narrow-minded and
has a poor choose of wording.
