Should big corporations be able to seize domains?

[JoshK]

The reason why I ask this is because there was an article on the BBC recently in which a domain (starwars co uk) was seized from a small independent costume store in the UK who had owned the domain for more than a decade, Disney came along and argued with the domain authority, Nominet who ended up taking the domain off this small independent company and giving it to the big corporation which makes the Starwars franchise.

What's your thoughts on this? Do you think this is right?

I don't think they should be able to do that. It doesn't seem very fair to me.
