The whole "because phishing" thing never seemed all that valid to me.

Consider that the folks who are likely to get scammed by such would fall for the scam if it came from thisisascam.youidiot.com just as easily as if it came from apple.NewExoticTLD ... so why waste time and money registering new domains just for scams?

And ESPECIALLY why bother inventing a new, functional TLD? If it doesn't exist in the first place, how could scammers use it?
