Almost 3000 domains grabbed (?)

After short vacation in Paris (really nice city :) I'm coming back to the domian.com@gmial.com case. I've received more information about Zheng and his way of doing 'business', but this one is exceptional and thrilling:

Dariusz, I've been mapping the .eu gTLD and have approximately 70% of the .eu domains mapped by nameservers. (It is essentially a forensic/cryptographic reconstruction of the .eu zone because EURid will not provide access to the .eu zone file.)The buycool.com nameservers show 2939 .eu domains. Do you still need domain examples to prove that Buycool.com is engaged in bad faith registrations?

What to say after this ? It’s obvious that EURid knows about it, as they have all information and statistics about their own system.

To be or not to be a “resident” of (the) EC ?

General eligibility criteria for registering the eu domain are set out in Article 4(2)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 733/2002. Please have a look at the Article 4(2)(b) iii) “… natural person resident within the Community… “

Now the question : when someone becomes a resident ? Where this term is defended ? If someone stays in UK, Germany or other UE member country for two weeks, he/she becomes automatically a resident ? Moreover, if someone at the moment of registration was not a resident ? If we follow that way the result might be interesting…
