Projected winners and losers of the Snowe Bill

A list is being compiled of the winners and losers of the Snowe bill and so far:

The winners are any corporation who is aggressive against cyber-squatting and domains:

• Dell
• Microsoft
• Adidas
• Walmart
• Mariott
• Verizon
  
• Several other large corporations

• Plus WIPO (more claim fees)
• ICANN (more registrations changing hands = more revenue)
• Cyber Squatters outside of the US since they'll be outside of US jurisdiction
• Phishers outside of the US (like most of them) for the same reason
  

And the losers:

• Small businesses (they'll lose their web presence)
• Domainers (internet real estate investors)
• Web masters / programmers - they'll also lose their sites
  
• Parking companies such as Sedo, Parked.com, NameDrive, etc..
• Registrars such as GoDaddy, Moniker, TuCows, etc..
• Ad supplying companies such as Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft (yes, they're a winner and a loser)
• Web hosting companies, more people won't want to have websites or domains in fear of them being taken away
  

This has already been tested when a senator named Sam Adams used SamAdams.com as his campaign page and Sam Adams (the beer) sued him for copyright infringement.

Even generics are not safe, like cars.com, laptops.com, pictures.com etc..!!!

Before I go, here's a list of companies who support this bill, as you can see, some of these are going to benefit from this new law. Companies are part of an organization that is trying to pass a law that will benefit them and hurt others. What's wrong with this picture?

American International Group, Inc.
Bacardi & Company Limited
Compagnie Financière Richemont SA
Dell Inc.
Eli Lilly and Company
Hilton Hotels Corporation
HSBC Holdings plc
Marriott International, Inc.
Verizon Communications Inc.
