> How can a legitimate domain owner tell other people to not use his name in GNS?
> A: Names have no owners in GNS, so there cannot be a "legitimate" domain owner. Any user can claim any name (as his preferred name or "pseudonym") in his NICK record. Similarly, all other users can choose to ignore this preference and use a name of their choice (or even assign no name) for this user.
This is confusing me. How is it not a problem that randoms can just claim other people's domains?
