At one time if you even _looked up_ the availability of a domain name they would immediately register it so if you tried to then register it at Namecheap or GoDaddy the name was taken already.
That should be illegal. (I have not bothered testing if their system still does this)

What would be their overhead for doing that? Seems like it's something that could be fun to subvert until they stop (e.g. do lookups of UUIDs in a loop).
