Exclamation firstrobotics.org taken by spammers

Www.firstrobotics.org was registered by PopularEnterprises, a known Spammer and domain squatter, on Oct. 3 . As far as I know, FIRST robotics is not a trademark, but I wonder what FIRST is going to do about this. PopularEnterprises also operates as Netster.com and ItsYourDomain.com and has already upset many people by taking their domain away mere seconds after expiration. Apparently even non-profit organizations are at risk. What should be dome about this? Is anybody else upset?

That may be the same group that took RAGE's old sight right after it expired. It was turned into a link to a porn site but now we have a new one at Rage173.org

I think it may have used to link to www.usfirst.org , but my main concern is that w/ all the new teams and gaining popularity of the program, people are going to go to an obvious www.firstrobotics.org for informaion and end up with a screen full of ads.
