I know there's been a post recently about this but I thought I'd start another thread.
Been looking for new URLs recently and every single one I think of has already been registered by people with no intention of using it. Every time I hit either a "sever could not be found" error or a search engine page.
It got me thinking about laws and regulations for the web. I thought about a probationary period where the url could sit unused. After that, proof must be given of intent to develop a site, with the finished/temporary site introduced before the end of another period.
What do you guys think? Feasible? Any other suggestions?

Some people buy domain names just to have a personalized email address without any intention of building a website.
Some people plan to build a business with the domain, but since they have dozens of other businesses, they never get around to it.
And some people buy domains like buying baseball cards. That sucks.
