Don't Sell domains, instead sell a licence to use that domain.
You cannot sell the licence to somebody else, however if you sell the business/website etc, the domain transfers with it.
Sure, there will be a black market, however with the threat of having your domain licence revoked for breaking the licence agreement, I'm sure this will act as a sufficient deterrent.
Kind of like an OS licence, I can sell the desktop and the licence stays with the hardware (aka website), but I cannot sell my OS licence separately to somebody else.
Business: Unincorporated or incorporated? If the latter, just have a shell company and park some lorem ipsum, package some similar domains into the shell. This raises administrative hurdles, cost of enforcing, and makes it relatively easier for professional over a low barriers system. Domain name companies win.
Interest: Who defines an interest, community or other?
Personal?
Website? Domains are used for a lot more than WWW on port 80 or 443.
The logistics of setting up as many shell companies and domains which are squatted seems unreasonable. The onus is on the purchaser not to illegally purchase a domain against the licence agreement or the domain is revoked. Both of these would likely massively reduce the financial incentives domain squatters enjoy.
> personal
They can still licence a domain, but when they're done with it, it returns to the pool of available domains for others to purchase.
> Websites
sure, and websites are the major driving force behind domain squatting though.
Maybe I'm explaining this poorly, and I know I haven't solved the worlds problems in a single post but it's fun to theorise, however if I purchase a software licence, I cannot sell that on. If a business purchases a software licence and that business changes ownership, the licence isn't always void.
