ecstasy testing controversy ahoy

EZ, TIGER!

This just in from the small but volatile world of ecstasy testing kits on the net:

Over a year ago, Dancesafe (a US non-profit organisation distributing ecstasy testing kits) accidently released dancesafe.com to the market. EZ-Test (a commercial site) bought it and has it pointed to their site, which suggests cheekily sound business sense but questionable ethics. Dancesafe say that EZ-Test have consistently refused requests to return the url. Dancesafe are in the process of filing a claim with a domain name dispute service, and are pretty sure they are going to win.

EZ-Test have also come under fire from Dancesafe for the quality of their kits. EZ-Test claim their kits contain 10ml of reagent and test 300 times. When Dancesafe bought 4 of the kits, they contained only 5ml only tested about
25 times, because the aperture on the bottle was so large that 5 or 6 drops poured out when the bottle was turned upside down.

Cheekily sound business sense? Yes
Questionable ethics? Maybe..probably.

You say that dancesafe accidently released their domain..how does this happen? About the only way it can happen is if you don't pay your domain fees, and it reverts back into the pool after a certain amount of time.

It's like if we didnt pay our domain fees for the guidance domains, and mikem decided to snap it up and point it to biggie...our own silly fault, and nothing we could do about it, thats how the market works.

Not knocking anything that either dancesafe or ez test do, but hey, get real guys...
