This weekend saw one of the the largest domain scams in internet history, with one user out by $120'000. What was fascinating about the story is that the theft involves one or more 16yr olds.

That has renewed calls for underage domainers to be banned from the industry. According to Registrar rules, under 18's are prohibited from even owning a domain name, let along trading in them. In reality, some are negotiating deals worth thousands of dollars.

As the domaining industry attempts to legitimize itself, how will they deal with a group that exists outside the law?

This article also made me wonder just how many under-18's (non-domainers) actually own domains?
