Idea: DNS TXT records are free-form. What if you used those to publish some (very short) "Legal Notices", stating that certain things were not authorized, and should be assumed fraudulent?

(Perhaps with similar notices published in your local old-school Legal News. There are entire periodicals devoted to the publication of legal notices.)

It doesn't matter if it would fully stand up in court, if the existence of the published prior notices convinced Google or MS that they were risking a nasty Legal Dept. situation.
